Earlier, I reviewed our accommodations on Thassos Island – Athos Bungalows – and wrote that I had really enjoyed the location – close enough to the beach, but up on the mountain slope where I could walk some trails. We had a marvelous view of Mount Ypsarion (Ipsario), the highest peak on Thassos Island at

Back in early July when we began planning a trip to one of the Greek islands, we did not really know where we wanted to go. We made a list of all the possible islands and then did some research in regard to accommodations, ferry costs, and what each island might offer that was unique.

Things in Greece are not always what you might expect. If you come to visit from Canada, you might be surprised to learn that it’s okay to drink an ice cold beer while sitting in the car! And there are other things that occur that you’d probably never expect to happen. Like what can happen

There are many photos and adventures I’d love to share, but have been so behind in keeping up with them all in writing. I have some photos that I think are pretty nice from a short weekend trip to Ancient Corinth (but then, the scenery of Greece and a camera can make anyone look like

This is a photo from earlier in the year when we visited Ancient Corinth and then Acrocorinth, high above the city and the sea. More photos of that later, but we went there on “Clean Monday” (Kathara Deftera in Greek) which fell on March 2nd this year (2020). It’s been a tradition in Greece for

There is one thing about most Greeks that you might notice right away and that is how cleanliness of their homes and surroundings is important to them. You will often find people even scrubbing the asphalt of the road in front of their homes after sweeping and cleaning their front entrance ways. Homes are usually

You wouldn’t know that there was a global pandemic apparently going on. Today, I decided to walk to the large Nea Filadelfeia Park to see if I could find any horizontal bars that I could use for pullups. I have walked through the park before, which has some pleasant trails, but have never been fully
