This is the post where we say goodbye Athens! Eventually, everything comes to an end and after a month, we had to prepare to leave Athens. The time we spent in the Greek capital passed way too fast. So many memories in so little time – and Little A will have to stand all of our…
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…
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,…
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…
One of the things we like about traveling is the possibility to go on day trips. From Athens, there are quite a few different options. One of the places we knew we’d like to visit was about an hour from the Greek capital. The only question we had to find an answer to was: what’s…
It’s been since I last wrote an update here. At the moment we’re actually on Cyprus. Fortunately, we’re still have plenty of time to keep discovering Athens on foot- in the few past days we have been walking a lot. Our usual way of doing things is that we decide what we want to see…
As we are in the land of ancient gods, it would be strange if we didn’t mention Athena or Zeus even once. Today thunder and rain changed our plans here in Athens, and so Zeus – the sky and thunder god paid us a visit. Initially, we wanted to climb the Acropolis today, but instead,…
Our fourth full day in Athens is coming to an end. Today we really have been taking it easy and we really needed it. Maybe because there was thunder in the air? Still, we managed to walk over 10,000 steps and experienced a great deal of Greek hospitality. People seem to be genuinely interested and…
One of the highlights of staying abroad for a longer period of time is the fact that you get the chance to discover the place in a completely different way. For instance, we probably wouldn’t have gone to Piraeus, had we only come here for a few days. The morning started just like most other…
