13.04.23 From Patras it was about 150km to Elea Beach, which has been recommended to us several times. I would already recommend this place to anyone looking for a spacious,...

26th. Day: In the morning at the pitch the weather is already significantly better again, and during the day it even becomes really good. In the morning we enjoy the atmosphere...

To get from Preveza to Patras, you can either drive all the way around the Ambrakian Gulf or you can go through the underwater tunnel to Aktio that opened in 2002. I chose the...

After already being in Areopoli for the third day, we finally explored the city or village and were quite surprised. If the center is characterized by taverns and bars, then...

Thursday morning lucky pigs while jogging 😅. Heard them grunt suddenly. And there they were in front of me. But they were peaceful creatures. On the way, the difference to the...

Once we arrived at the camping spot in the mountains, we decided to go for a walk. Paul and Robi went up the hill, while the others followed the existing path. Tanja cooked...

From Athens, we now head to the Peloponnese, and it's clear that we'll make a stop in Corinth. We just saw a post about it and now we want to see the depth of the canal for...

The Atheras Bay is located at the northern tip of the PaliKi Peninsula. We will spend a few more hours in this lovely spot sunbathing, reading, and exploring the coast with the...

We wake up early today because we want to go to Mt. Ainos. The drive turns out to be surprisingly easy. We park Nuggy on the way. That was a good decision, as the hiking parking...

Day 80: As we get our Nuggy ready after waking up, the idea comes up to rent a boat and explore a coastline on our own. Less than an hour later, we are already at Keri Lake...

76th day: We had a wonderfully peaceful night. Of course, there is nothing near for many kilometers. The atmosphere at Plakaki Viewpoint in the morning is very peaceful. Our...

Day 75: Wow, what a fantastic day! After the last two fairly unspectacular days, today had lots of highlights in store for us. We could have filled several days with everything...

Day 74: After waking up, we first go to Lidl in Patras to stock up on supplies for Zakynthos. An hour later, we are already at the port of Kyllini. While waiting for the ferry,...

Day 33: After preparing for the next few days (refilling water, emptying the toilet, stocking up on food, ...), we drove to the Mani Peninsula. We find the first village along...

09/04/23 To boost the excitement, I've been listening to Udo Jürgens' 'Greek Wine' multiple times for the past few days. Absolutely confident in the lyrics and as a new fan of...

Poseidon was gracious to us, the crossing was quite calm. Only downside: it was relatively cold in the cabin, not for Burki and his complaints. Hoping it will be better...

As always, the vacation goes by way too quickly and already the last day of vacation is here, which should give us a little taste of autumn in Germany - the temperatures had...

After yet another unexpected breakfast outdoors, today was planned to be the last hike of the vacation. The morning idyll was unfortunately repeatedly interrupted by 2...

One last evening in Nafplio before packing our bags the next morning and heading off to the next stop of our vacation, to explore the next finger of the Peloponnese. Today, we...

Samstagabend ein Blick über den Platz da dachte ich so bei mir: Jetzt ein Feuerchen ach das wäre sooo schön.Am Sonntag erwähnte ich es so nebenbei im Gespräch,da sagt der Thomas...

As I suspected, the weather warning was exaggerated at least for the region where we were. Athens was probably more affected. However, it was once again a test for me in terms...

It is no longer summer. A little rain this morning, no sun 😏. But okay, we are still standing in front of the entrance of the Epidaurus amphitheater at 8:00. The sky has calmed...

Wow, I thought today. Greece always has wonderful surprises in store. After a short but beautiful evening with Birgit and Thomas outside the bus with a view of the illuminated...

After a peaceful night, I laced up my sneakers this morning and set off on the beautifully laid-out coastal path to Nafplio. There weren't many people out yet, so I could enjoy...

Finally a bit of culture today.🏰I chose to visit the Palamidi Fortress in Nafplion. Burki said that we have been here with the kids before, but unfortunately my memory doesn't...

Please don't be surprised that I write so much about beaches. But Greece has about 13,500 km of coastline and about 3,000 islands. On Sunday morning, we left our Robinson Crusoe...

Today we drove to the next beach in the southwest of the island 🏝️. Endless long sandy beach. At the beginning, it was quite crowded, but it got progressively quieter towards...
