Eventually, like most things in life, all trips come to an end. It was time for our last day in Italy. After five weeks away from home – four in Athens and almost one in Rome – it was actually a nice feeling to get back home. The days in […]

We might still dispute whether all roads lead to Rome or not. However, in our case all the small roads we took across Europe eventually ended up in Rome and the Vatican- to our great surprise. This is the story of a day in Rome. Italy was a stop on […]
Right outside of Athens, there are two small beautiful islands – Aegina and Agistri. During our month in Athens, we decided to go for a day trip to these islands in the Saronic Gulf. We knew about these two places already when we arrived in Athens, and it didn’t take […]
It’s time to talk travel plans! August is here, and as I sit here in my parents’ living room I hear the rain. Hello autumn, I say, and start dreaming away. Actually we do have some travel plans that I’d like to share with you. Our Travel Plans for Autumn […]
Visting Kefalonia was definitely one of the absolute highlights during our trip to Greece, Our last day on the island was a calm one. The day before we had seen so much on our little road trip, so we thought it would be a good idea to relax. There were […]
The Greek island of Kefalonia is a great many things. For one, as we have written here, its capital Argostoli is very cosy. However, as the town isn’t very big, we decided that we would spend our second day exploring the island. As a taxi driver told us, if you’re […]

One of the things we like about traveling is the possibility to go on day trips. From Athens, there are quite a few different options. One of the places we knew we’d like to visit was about an hour from the Greek capital. The only question we had to find […]
It’s been since I last wrote an update here. At the moment we’re actually on Cyprus. Fortunately, we’re still have plenty of time to keep discovering Athens on foot- in the few past days we have been walking a lot. Our usual way of doing things is that we decide […]
As we are in the land of ancient gods, it would be strange if we didn’t mention Athena or Zeus even once. Today thunder and rain changed our plans here in Athens, and so Zeus – the sky and thunder god paid us a visit. Initially, we wanted to climb […]
Our fourth full day in Athens is coming to an end. Today we really have been taking it easy and we really needed it. Maybe because there was thunder in the air? Still, we managed to walk over 10,000 steps and experienced a great deal of Greek hospitality. People seem […]
