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...
VEGAN EATS: Split
I just got back from a weekend away in Split and got to try out the local vegan food scene. There is quite a few plant based restaurants and lots more with options available. It has been a little while since I have gone exploring vegan food options and I was enjoying...
Weekend in Split
On Friday I packed my backpack, jumped in the car, and made my way to Split for my last weekend in Croatia. After checking into my accomodation and charging my phone up I headed out to explore and familiarise myself with the area I was staying in. I had booked a place...
Plitvice Lakes
I had heard so much about Plitvice Lakes before coming to Croatia. It was definitely on the Must See list before I even left Australia. I actually remember Dad calling me back in 2019 when he and Mum were last in Croatia and visited the lakes. He video called me from...
Samobor Hike & Wine Tasting
I headed to Zagreb on Wednesday evening as I had plans for a hike and wine tasting tour in Samobor on Thursday. I organised this experience with Karlo from Bespoke Croatia whom I met on the Zagreb walking tour when I first arrived in the country. Karlo came and picked...
Modem Festival
Wow! What a week! If you're looking for the short version of my thoughts on Modem Festival, they would be that I am hoping to be back for it again next year. For the longer experience story, keep on reading... Let's wind it back to the 5th of August, when I packed up...
Outlook Origins
Well that was a lot of fun! On the 27th July I packed up my little car and headed off to Tisno for Outlook Origins. As I was staying on site I could check in a day before the festival started. So The Garden in Tisno is pretty much just used for festivals in Summer....
