Here is the second and final blog about the food I ate out in Greece. The main stand out for me in Greece related to food and service was how helpful everyone was at finding something for you to eat. There was plenty of options and most places were happy to alter...
The final days in Greece
It's nearing the end of my time in Greece and so I decided to spend my final weekend at Metamorfosi, in the Haikidiki area. This is pretty much the rest and relaxation part of my trip. The beach (with bar) is a 2 minute walk from where I am staying. I am quite a fan...
Thessaloniki
On Tuesday I left Arachova and drove for about 4.5 hours to Thessalinki. The second largest city in Greece, I have now done the three largest cities in Greece. Athens and Patras being first and third. I was staying in Sykies which was developed and built with the...
The centre of the world
After packing up and leaving Patras I was bound for Arachova. On the way though I noticed the Castle of Nafpaktos was en route. I am sure you have noticed by now that I quite like castle ruins. This one is in pretty good nick and was built by the Venetians on the site...
VEGAN EATS: Peloponnese
Instead of doing a vegan eats post on each location I decided to bulk the Peloponnese area of Greece for this post. Mainly due to only eating one meal in some places. The Peloponnese is the region of Southern Greece that includes Corinth/Loutraki, Napflio, Kalamata,...
Olympia to Patras
On Thursday it was time to check out and jump in the car to head to Olympia for my next stop. On the way I stopped by the Peristerias archaeological site to check out some Tholos tombs of the Mycenaean, 1600 - 1500 BC. Seriously driving around there are so many old...
This is Sparta
On Wednesday I was up early and went for an hours drive to Sparta. My first stop was the archeological site of ancient Sparta. I wandered around checking out the site and got chatting to a couple who recognised me from the previous day. They were at the ancient...
Corinth to Kalamata
Monday morning and today I am heading to Kalamata. First though, I want to go check out the Acrocorinth that I missed seeing properly yesterday. I am about 25 minutes away from there and I dropped the keys at the reception desk by about 8:15. I was doing alright for...
My letter from Corinth
On Saturday I checked out of my stay and jumped in a taxi back to the airport. I wasn't heading for a flight but rather to meet the driver who was picking up to take me to my rental car. I firstly got a taxi to the rental place but I was early and they weren't open...
VEGAN EATS: Athens
I flew into Athens for a few days to explore some of the historic sites and of course eat some food. As what tends to happen when I have packed full exciting days I only end up eating once a day and I was only in Athens for 3 nights. Overall eating out is a lot...
My great Greek adventure begins
The time to pack up and say good bye to Croatia arrived on Wednesday. I returned my hire car and boarded a plane to Athens. The first stop in my next travel adventure. The last 50 days in Croatia went by pretty quickly, and I need to leave there now so that I can...
