My father turned 60 in the fall and we had discussed a trip for about a year. It took us ages to decide whether we’d travel with my parents only or if the whole family would join. In the end, we all joined them down to Vlycha Beach on Rhodes […]

A visit to Rhodes wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the main town, also named Rhodes. It is a town with two very distinct parts. It is a place where the old and the new are separated by double walls. Once home to one of the Seven Wonders of […]
If you consider Rhodes City touristy, that is nothing in comparison with Lindos. This little town with its small white houses, narrow streets, sandy beaches, and a massive acropolis seems to be crowded with visitors. Finding Somewhere to Park If you arrive in Lindos before noon you might think that […]
It was one place in particular on Rhodes that proved the island to be a Mediterranean paradise. With a monastery on a hilltop and a long sandy beach at the sea, Tsambika had it all, the challenging climb, the view, and the relaxing atmosphere mixed with the activities of the […]
Only a 25 minutes drive from Lindos is the small village of Asklipio. Well-hidden in the mountains this village houses one of the more impressive castle ruins on the island, the Castle of Asklipio. There’s also the added perk of enjoying the spectacular view all the way back to the […]
Visiting Rhodes usually means spending a lot of time along its coastline. But what is inland? We opted for a short road trip to find out. We were going to head towards the island’s highest peak, Attavyros, at 1215 meters above the sea. That is how we ended up in […]
There are plenty of ruins of old castles on Rhodes. One of these is the Feraklos Castle right outside the village of Charaki. This is a ruin with a view like few others. My brother and I decided to take a short trip from Vlycha Beach to see the castle […]

Our days in Athens were eventually coming to an end. There was, however, one place I wanted to visit before we continued to Italy. This was the Temple of Poseidon located at Cape Sounion on the southern tip of Attica. Sadly it was a bit too inconvenient to bring Little […]
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 […]
Driving in Greece is something that I have always dreaded and when we decided to spend a month in Athens it was already set – no driving. Mood, time and location can, however, change your mindset. Driving in Greece was eventually a reality. Not in Athens (that will probably never […]
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 […]
