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 […]
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 […]
While planning our trip to Greece, we knew for sure that we wanted to visit one of its famous islands. It did not take us long to choose the island of Kefalonia and its capital Argostoli. Kefalonia – or Cephalonia as it is also spelt in English, is the largest […]

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 […]
Have you ever visited Acropolis in Athens? The Acrocorinth is rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, in other words, it is the Acropolis of Ancient Corinth. It might lack the large temples of the Acropolis, but the fortress and the view from the top are much more impressive. This Acropolis […]
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 […]
Athens has a lot of ancient temples, but it might be even more famous for the Olympic Games. As the ancient games did not take place in Athens, they do not have the same connection to the city as the modern ones. However, it was here at the Panathenaic Stadium that […]
