If you’ve read this blog before, you should know that we are trying to tick off as many countries as possible. So, even though we have been enjoying Greece and Athens, we thought it’d be a great idea to go to Cyprus as well for a long weekend. It was […]
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 […]
