Day 99: Crossing the border

Hoping for better weather, we finally arrived in Greece. After a month in Albania, we are now happy to continue southwards.
The border crossing was relatively easy and took hardly any time at all.
Very beautiful border near Permët.En savoir plus

Farmhouse Kildonia
10–14 oct. 2025, Grèce ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Day 99 - 103: First arrival

After crossing the border at Permet, we found an abandoned farmhouse nearby where we were allowed to stay overnight. It was a great location for exploring Vikos National Park. We liked it so much that we stayed for four days and went on lots of hikes. We can highly recommend the farmhouse; the owner was extremely friendly and the sanitary facilities were excellent. The farmhouse did not charge for accommodation or laundry; everything was based on donations.En savoir plus

Day 100: Vikos Canyon Part 1

A truly wonderful place. Especially in autumn when the colours change and make the riverbank you walk along even more mystical. The old bridge is very reminiscent of the Stari Most in Mostar, probably due to the Roman and Greek history.En savoir plus

Day 102: Vikos Canyon Part 2

Our first real highlight in Greece, and what a highlight it was! Vikos Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful. We didn't make it into the canyon itself (we weren't keen on the climbing involved), but we did visit several secret viewpoints and admired the gorge from different angles. We also visited the Stone Forest. Great hiking opportunities.En savoir plus

Day 103 - 105:View of Meteora

After a long day in the car with several short stops in beautiful mountain villages, we reached our destination for the night just before the monasteries of Meteora. The view of the rock formations was breathtaking.
In general, Greece has an extremely impressive landscape.En savoir plus

Meteora
15 octobre 2025, Grèce ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Day 104: What a spectacle

Meteora is beautiful through and through. The rock formations, the location of the monasteries, the monasteries themselves, the landscape – simply breathtaking. So beautiful that words fail me. We started our hike for the day in Kalambaka. Three monasteries and almost 20 kilometres later, we were completely exhausted but thoroughly satisfied with the day and what we had seen. The sunset at one of the viewpoints wasn't particularly spectacular that day, but it was definitely a must, as the feeling at that point was indescribable. Meteora – one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.En savoir plus

Day 104: Traditional Greek food

After the long hike, we decided to go out for something traditional to eat in the evening. We had been craving Greek cuisine for days and couldn't resist after such a long day. Great restaurant with delicious traditional dishes.En savoir plus

Unfortunately, the weather in the mountains was no longer cooperating. A long week of rain was forecast. Hoping for better weather, we said goodbye to the mountains for the time being and drove towards Volos. We spent the night at a lake somewhere in the middle of Greece.En savoir plus

Day 106 - 109: First time in the Aegean Sea

A wonderfully secluded beach with stunning rock formations.
As it was the off-season, it was very quiet here and perfect for recharging our batteries.

A quick trip across the peninsula to the next great secluded beach 🏝️ Here we were greeted by nine cats. They were all really cute, and I would have loved to take them all home with me. Nevertheless, I headed towards Thessaloniki the next day.En savoir plus

Day 110: First time stuck

We decided to head to a very remote and secret beach for the night. No sooner had we arrived than we got stuck and the battery died. It was a bit annoying, as we were very isolated on this beautiful beach and there was no one else around. Without the energetic help of local fishermen during the night, we would never have got out of there... What a mess, what a night... Thanks again to Stelios and his boys for patiently pulling us out 👍En savoir plus

Day 111 : Towed away!

After the disaster during the night, we were forced to drive on. We found a spot under some trees right by the sea near the beach where we were stuck 🌊
Unfortunately, our alternator was broken and we had to be towed away the next morning. We drove non-stop to Katarini to Alexis Car Service.En savoir plus

Alexis Car Service
22–23 oct. 2025, Grèce ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Day 111 - 112: Wait, wait, wait

When we arrived at the garage, we had to wait. On the first day, they just looked at the car and tried to diagnose the fault. Due to the language barrier, the garage didn't understand that the damage was to the alternator. So they decided to continue looking for the fault the next morning. This meant that a mechatronics engineer had to be called in. After three seconds, he confirmed what we already knew – the alternator was defective. The garage was able to repair the damage with a new alternator. Unfortunately, a number of mistakes were made during the troubleshooting process, so we now have to live without a heater.En savoir plus

Day 112 - 113: Flaaamongooos :D

After two days at the car service, we were back on the road. We had to drive for at least an hour to fully recharge the starter battery. That's how we ended up at Kalochori Lagoon in the evening. What a stroke of luck, because there we found flamingos in their natural habitat.🦩 A truly amazing sight!En savoir plus

Day 113: continuing towards the middle finger xD

Even though the lake was beautiful, we were drawn further on. In search of more peace and quiet and beautiful bays, we found a great place to spend the day at Karydi Beach. It wasn't really suitable for spending the night, but we found somewhere not far away that was.En savoir plus

Day 113 - 117: Lost campsite 🏕️

After a day at the seaside, we found a really great spot to spend the night a few kilometres further on. An abandoned campsite that doesn't look abandoned at all. The cabins are still standing everywhere and even the electrical appliances such as refrigerators and ovens have simply been left behind. It's amazing what can happen in such a short time. According to records, the campsite was still active and well frequented in 2022. Understandable, given its great location. Now, no one has taken care of it for years, which doesn't really help the nature. For locals or campers like us, it's an ideal place to stay. We stayed for four nights :)En savoir plus

Day 114: searching for snorkelling spots

The next day, we drove on towards end of this peninsula in search of snorkelling spots. We found what we were looking for at Mega Portokali Beach. This small bay had its charm even without snorkelling, as it was quite remote and we found a lot of peace and freedom there. It wasn't suitable for spending the night, so we headed back to the lost campsite.En savoir plus

Day 118 - 121: meeting a great person

The next day we continued our journey. But since we still had time before we had to be back in Thessaloniki, we stopped at the next beautiful and secluded spot. There we met a really great traveller. Maurilo, 56 and travelling by bicycle, was great company. Because of this, we stayed for two days. We spent a lot of time with Lilo, chilling by the sea, shopping and cooking. We did everything together during that time. Hopefully we'll see him again sometime! Lilo is a really great person. Andby the way these spot was a really perle for snorkeling. We also saw a living squid 🦑En savoir plus

We wanted to buy some fresh food for the next few days in the flat, so we looked for a market. We found one in Kassandria. The market was huge, the quality was great and the prices were very fair. We paid €13 for around 1.5 kg of fresh fish!En savoir plus

And finally, the wait was over. After picking up Michi's mum from the airport, we headed straight to our accommodation for the next week. Here, we could really relax and enjoy the luxury of an apartment. Nevertheless, new problems came up because Hugo didn't fit in the apartment's car park. So we had to park it on a steep hill.En savoir plus
