We arrived in Athens after 2 flights and 1 crazy passenger in front of us who expected to have a row to herself until the flt. attendant asked if she'd bought all 3 seats - no; then she threatened Bob and pummeled his seat because his knees touched her seat back. Bob spoke to the flt. attendant who thankfully moved her! Whew! We wandered Athens with a hike/walk up to a church then over to the Acropolis Museum to look at more ancient rocks and statues. The weather is fabulous with a clear blue sky, 25C and windy. We hired a car and drove from Athens to Preveza on fabulous highways but alot of tolls. Lovely scenery with scrubby mountains, lush forests, farms, orchards, lakes and the blue Mediterranean. The boat has been on land all winter and she is a bit dirty but it's lovely being aboard in the sun and listening to all the whistling, clanging, howling. A few days to get organized. Stay tuned...もっと詳しく

Athènes
4月12日, ギリシャ ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
12/04 :

Journée de transport aujourd'hui, bus puis train direction Athènes.

Une fois arrivée je cherche un hostel puis m'installe. C'est déjà la fin de la journée, je sors voir le coucher de soleil sur la colline de Filoupapou. En haut il y a une vue panoramique sur tout Athènes, l'Acropole et la mer, c'est super beau ! La ville s'étend vraiment à perte de vue c'est impressionnant. Je me balade ensuite un peu puis rentre me coucher.

13/04 :

Aujourd'hui visite de la ville ! Je commence par l'Acropole, il y a beaucoup de monde mais c'est quand même super impressionnant ! Je me balade ensuite dans différents quartiers de la ville. Je visite également l'agora et l'agora romaine. Après avoir beaucoup marché je rentre me reposer un peu. C'est assez fatiguant d'apprendre beaucoup de choses (tout en anglais), de rester beaucoup debout, de marcher, et tout ça sous une certaine température. Je ressors dans la soirée pour une promenade et un petit resto. C'était agréable.

Le retour dans une grande ville a été un peu fatiguant pour moi, du monde et de la vie partout ! Mais Athènes a des quartiers super sympa et agréables et les différents sites archéologiques sont impressionnants.

Bisousもっと詳しく

Boufalo-Chalkida-Marathonos
4月17日, ギリシャ ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Vom Stellplatz am Hafen in Boufalo fuhren wir zurück zum Startpunkt der Inselrundfahrt Euboea (ca. 550km) über die grosse, neue Brücke wieder aufs Festland. Von nun an südlich der Küste entlang. In einem Dörfchen erspähten wir ein Gyros Restaurant mit Take-away Service. Da konnten wir nicht wiederstehen. Mmmmh fein. Gefuttert wurde er auf einem super gelegenen Parkplatz.
In Marathonos fanden wir einen total ruhigen und einsamen Stellplatz inmitten eines grossen Kräutergartens mit herrlicher Sicht aufs Meer. Natürlich gefolgt vom obligaten Apero.もっと詳しく

Keratea-Piräus-Athen-NeaPeramos
4月20日, ギリシャ ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Vom Süden der Apolon-Halbinsel gehts heute nördlich über Piräus und Athen zu einem kleinen Kloster Daphni. Beeindruckende Architektur, Denkmal byzantinischer Kunst. Die Dekoration
der Kirche des Klosters besteht aus Mosaik. Seit 1990 gehört es zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Durch ein Erdbeben im Jahr 1999 wurde es schwer beschädigt.
Danach fuhren wir über Piräus endlich aus dem Grosstadt-Dschungel heraus westlich bis Nea Peramos. Beim Kaffee-Halt gefiel uns der Ort so gut, dass wir beschlossen, gleich da zu übernachten. 3m vom Meer entfernt. Mit einem 2 stündigen Spaziergang ins Dörfchen überbrückten wir die Zeit bis zum Nachtessen. Heute war wieder mal der Grill im Einsatz und feine Würste wurden gebruzelt.もっと詳しく

From Athens to Santorini
2019年8月29日, ギリシャ ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
Who says we are lazy? Up at 7.00 for breakfast then waiting at the gates of the Acropolis at 8.00am. Method to our madness - beat the heat and the crowds!! It was a great time to go there was no queues and the heat was bearable. Amazing sights and history. By the time we were leaving there were thousands of people and we couldn’t wait to get out of there. Still you can’t go to Athens without seeing the Acropolis.

After getting organised we headed off to the airport again, but this time took the Metro, which was easy and only cost 20 Euro against the taxi which was 55. Made it easily to the airport and again sat around for hours but it was worth it, arriving in Santorini made the airport boredom disappear.

We caught a taxi to our apartment which is just amazing with an incredible view from our balcony of the sea and the Caldera. Absolutely heaven. Amazing place and the scenery is gorgeous.

There is one photo of me reclining and trying to look like a model. We laughed and laughed about this one because everywhere we go there are gorgeous girls flicking their hair and posing for photos. They get in your way and you get dirty looks if you dare to get in the way. So we decided to do our own, who says a 60 year old can’t compete!😂😂 well maybe not compete but we had a good laugh.

Of course we have taken hundreds of photos because you want to capture everything you see which is impossible. But we had dinner on a cliff side and watched the sunset on our first night in Santorini.もっと詳しく

Blonde foils thanks
2019年9月6日, ギリシャ ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Breaky at 8.00am

We have booked a 10.00am appointment at the hairdressers, Theens and I, as our roots are a disgrace. Eddy is our hairdresser, whom speaks English well, and is silly and cheeky, and I like him a lot.

He does a great job of our roots. I book a 4.30appt to have blonde highlights.

My bank contacted me about fraudulent activity on my card. So I called them from reception.
I had to argue with reception man re CBA reverse charges call. He told me I had to pay for the call and wouldn't listen to me. I finally got through and sorted out my funds.

Theens cousin, Paul and Christina picked her up at 2.30pm for a catch up.
I ate chinese food in my room and watched moreTimothy C on YouTube. I also sat up on the rooftop in the wind by myself lots listening to videos on headphones.

I went to the hairdressers at 4.30pm and had a great time. They look after you here. 'Como' salon in Athens. I came out so so blonde!!

The souvenirs here are not 'made in Greece' I discovered, however it is written as 'made by Greeks' !

Dinner at our plaka restarant again and we eat like vacuum cleaners. Both have the veal mushroom and potato, because Athena would not stop talking about it yesterday.

Walked all around the Plaka, bought some small souvenirs. One old man gave me lollies, then kisses then a couple of freebies. I walked out all emotional. Athena teared up too. Some of these Greeks give out so much love.

Walking the streets I picked up, whilst sucking a ventolin. 'Hello princess'. (it is the hair) I just looked at him and kept walking. Athena laughed at this poor guys attempt.

To the hotel rooftop bar we go, which is really our home, saying all the while 'God I love Amanda, she is amazing, I just love her.'

Our hotels have been right in the middle of everything, and we really appreciate this. Along with breakfasts and transfers.
Thank you Amanda, you are always our hero, whenever we explore.

The golden Acropolis is there before our eyes.
Once again, we get drunk, and we are the last ones up there and get kicked out.

Waddled down to bed, Athena begins snoring and that's the end of our day.もっと詳しく

Travel to Athens
2019年10月16日, ギリシャ ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
We slept in, ate a late breakfast, and then drove to Athens. We took the back roads for some of the way, driving through villages and a big town or two. It’s fun to see how life happens for normal people— saw a lot of little market stands, people navigating chaotic traffic on bikes, and lots of old men sitting outside in cafes. Not much in the way of urban planning or traffic planning that we could see. About 100 km out, we got on the toll road and dropped the car at the airport. You would need nerves of steel or a death wish to drive in Athens.

Our hotel is a notch above our normal level, but the bar, pool, and restaurant have a view of the Acropolis and the elliptical is the best one of the entire trip by far. Seems like a good splurge so far.もっと詳しく

First day in Athens
2019年10月17日, ギリシャ ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Today we decided to see a few of the “minor” sites and also visit the National Archaeological Museum. Hadrian’s Library, the Roman Agora, and the museum took up most of the day. We ended with a great dinner in a restaurant near the hotel, which we found by just poking around. Tomorrow, the Acropolis!もっと詳しく

Plan B
2019年10月18日, ギリシャ ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Well, I could not get Joe out of bed early enough for a trip to the Acropolis. The cruise ship groups start arriving around 9 or 10, so getting there by 8 is one way to avoid the hoards. So, on to Plan B. Luckily, there is no shortage of things to visit in Athens!

We went to the Ancient Greek Agora, with one gorgeous temple, supposedly the most perfectly preserved of any Doric temple in Greece. We also saw a “jury selection” machine — the citizens put in a credit-card-size engraved stone, and then with some balls rolling around, the jurors are selected. Wonder if it was more efficient than sending letters out to random voters.

After lunch, we went to the new Acropolis museum. Opened about ten years ago, the Greeks had hoped it would be the perfect place for displaying the Elgin marbles, if only the Brits would send them back. Ha, fat chance!

Though I did not retain the details of the many times Athens was destroyed by invaders, it did stay with me that the glory days of Athenian democracy lasted from about 490 BC to at the very latest 146 BC when they finally lost out to the Romans. Some current events lead me to wonder whether Athens will continue in first place or whether the US will hold on long enough to beat the record. As the Washington Post says—democracy dies in darkness.

And we somehow snagged a table at the oh so trendy Nolan Restaurant, which is a Japanese-Greek fusion place and the best meal we’ve had on this trip!もっと詳しく

Acropolis or bust!
2019年10月19日, ギリシャ ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
So once again we changed our plans. Last night at dinner, the manager of the restaurant suggested that we consider a mid-late afternoon Acropolis trip. If we took the “back door” entry, we would walk up past some of the less-visited sites, like the theater of Dionysus, and by the time we got to the top where the Parthenon and other crowd magnets are, most of the tour groups would be gone.

That meant late breakfast and morning gym workout, to mix things up a bit.

First stop, back to Hadrian’s arch (dividing Ancient Greek Athens from Ancient Roman Athens) and the remaining 15 Corinthian columns of what must have been a pretty fantastic temple to Zeus. After a light lunch, a slow stroll (so as not to wear out the old guy before he hit the Acropolis hill) and some ice cream. Finally, at about 3:00, we started up the “back side” of the hill so we could see the huge theater. When we got up to the main sights, the crowds were still pretty heavy, so Joe promptly found a bench and took a nap, while I walked around. At about 4:30, we ventured up the steps and enjoyed the temples. The late afternoon sun was just beautiful. There were people there, but no crushing crowds.

After sunset, we made our way back down, very happy to have visited such an important and beautiful place.もっと詳しく
