Our days in Athens were eventually coming to an end. There was, however, one place I wanted to visit before we continued to Italy. This was the Temple of Poseidon located at Cape Sounion on the southern tip of Attica. Sadly it was a bit too inconvenient to bring Little A on a long bus…
Right outside of Athens, there are two small beautiful islands – Aegina and Agistri. During our month in Athens, we decided to go for a day trip to these islands in the Saronic Gulf. We knew about these two places already when we arrived in Athens, and it didn’t take us long to start gathering…
My paternity leave is still continuing and the summer saw several trips. One of the more recent is a trip to the far north of Sweden. This time actually without Susann. Instead, Little A and I boarded a flight to Kiruna and joined my parents for the weekend. My parents had driven from south of…
Driving in Greece is something that I have always dreaded and when we decided to spend a month in Athens it was already set – no driving. Mood, time, and location can, however, change your mindset. Driving in Greece was eventually a reality. Not in Athens (that will probably never happen), but on the island…
It’s time to talk travel plans! August is here, and as I sit here in my parents’ living room I hear the rain. Hello autumn, I say, and start dreaming away. Actually we do have some travel plans that I’d like to share with you. Our Travel Plans for Autumn 2018 Four countries in two…
Visting Kefalonia was definitely one of the absolute highlights during our trip to Greece, Our last day on the island was a calm one. The day before we had seen so much on our little road trip, so we thought it would be a good idea to relax. There were a couple of places in…
The Greek island of Kefalonia is a great many things. For one, as we have written here, its capital Argostoli is very cosy. However, as the town isn’t very big, we decided that we would spend our second day exploring the island. As a taxi driver told us, if you’re going to drive in Greece,…
When traveling a lot you are eventually doomed to come across a canceled flight or a similar annoying change in your plans. It happened to us a few years ago on our way back home with Norwegian from Helsinki. But how do you handle it when it is your parents that get stranded? Getting your parents…
While planning our trip to Greece, we knew for sure that we wanted to visit one of its famous islands. It did not take us long to choose the island of Kefalonia and its capital Argostoli. Kefalonia – or Cephalonia as it is also spelt in English, is the largest of the Ionian islands. It…
If you’ve read this blog before, you should know that we are trying to tick off as many countries as possible. So, even though we have been enjoying Greece and Athens, we thought it’d be a great idea to go to Cyprus as well for a long weekend. It was quite early in our planning…
Athens has so many more sights than Acropolis to explore. One of the best photo opportunities might actually be in the Ancient Agora. Here you can visit the Stoa of Attalos from where you get a view of the Temple of Hephaestus framed by all the green trees. What You Should Know About the Ancient Agora…
The ancient sites with all their ruins are scattered all around Greece, but there are a few of them that probably were more important than others. Ancient Corinth is at the Isthmus of Corinth, the isthmus that connects the Peloponnese peninsula with the rest of mainland Greece. Once you see the landscape, it is not…
