Night Out in Athens 23 Οκτωβρίου 2016 0 I returned to Athens mid-afternoon and immediately changed in to…
Final Morning in Halkida 23 Οκτωβρίου 2016 0 When I awoke this morning it was still dark – sunrise in Greece at this time of year is not until after 07:30. It wasn’t long though until the first daylight revealed clearer skies than yesterday and the Sun started to shine.
Rainy, Stormy Greece 22 Οκτωβρίου 2016 0 What great weather we’ve had today… NOT! It is that time of year when the weather in Greece is starting to turn. On the plus side, I did see a sort of sunset tonight.
Athens to Halkida 21 Οκτωβρίου 2016 0 The weather in Greece at this time of year isn’t exactly cold, but it is the sort of weather where you might want to have a jumber with you. In the sunshine it is pleasantly warm – like an English spring day.
Overnight Stop in Athens 20 Οκτωβρίου 2016 0 This is in fact the first time I have been to Greece ‘out of season’. It is that time of year when the nights are drawing in, temperatures are dropping and the tourists are leaving.
Last Day 24 Αυγούστου 2016 0 It was cooler today; clouds had taken over and we even had a couple of short, light rain showers. Just as I was drying off after a swim and thinking it was time for another, it rained a little and cooled me down.
Boat Trip: All Aboard the M/S Christina 23 Αυγούστου 2016 0 Unlike the larger boats which run trips from Nydri, the M/S Christina takes just 55 passengers, and each passenger has a sunbed for relaxing. You are journeying in comfort and style!
Dimossari Waterfalls, Nydri 22 Αυγούστου 2016 0 This morning we drove to the Dimossari Waterfalls/Kαταρράκτες Δημοσάρη near…
Agios Ioannis 20 Αυγούστου 2016 0 This is the beach we came to on the bus a couple of weeks ago but today there was less wind so it was swimmable. Before our swim however we walked along the beach to see what we could find. There was a nice breeze to stop us getting too hot as well today!
Avali Beach, Kalamitsi 19 Αυγούστου 2016 0 After swimming a couple of times in the Ionian’s turquoise waters we went for a walk along the road. The beach is actually quite long so there are several places you can go to get away from people if you want a quiet bit of beach.
Agios Nikitas and Pefkoulia 18 Αυγούστου 2016 0 The centre of the village is entirely pedestrianised. The bus dropped us by the main road close to the barrier. We wandered down the main street, past all the tavernas, bars and cafés. At the bottom we found the main beach. By the time we arrived it was lunch time so we found a café to get something to eat and drink.
Dessimi Beach 17 Αυγούστου 2016 0 Dessimi/Δεσίμη was our chosen beach for the day, just a short drive towards the South. The beach has a couple of trees towards the back, lots of little boats and a café serving hot dogs, pita gyros and drinks just off the beach.
