- Friday - Catching the SunriseAt 5am the alarm went off and I was up and out in 10 mins. I was not going to miss the sunrise a 2nd time. As I got the car the bar by the pool had its shutters down Posted by SirRogue58 in 2 Weeks On The Island of Rhodes | Mar 11, 2011
- The Sanctuary of Apollo at DelphiThe Temple of Apollo at Delphi is famous for a few things: firstly, the oracle at Delphi provided advice to countless rulers, generals, and others for centuries; also, the sanctuary of Apollo was the site for the Pan-hellennic games, where Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 27, 2011
- Ancient MystrasWhen I went to Europe after I graduated from college, I had a travel guide called Let’s Blow Through Europe. One of the things that book told me that I never forgot was that one of the most basic Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 27, 2011
- Ancient Olympia and MesseneFebruary the 19th is Tad’s birthday. When we asked him what he wanted to do to celebrate, he answered quickly, and without hesitation – Tad wanted to go to Ancient Olympia to see the site of the original games.

- SounionA quick drive from Athens is Sounion, a coastal town full of lovely beaches, cute tavernas, and impossibly blue water: oh yes, and the Temple of Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea and brother of Zeus.

- MeteoraOne of the places I had really looked forward to seeing was the Meteora – a mystical, other-worldly place of standing rocks hundreds of feet high. They seem improbable, almost impossible that they could possibly exist, with Byzantine monks Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 27, 2011
- NafplionOne of the towns we most looked forward to visiting during our trip was to Nafplio. The first capital of Greece, Nafplio (Nafplion) is a seaside town about two hours south of Athens. We arrived along with Anne, Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 27, 2011
- Some thoughts about food...My sister likes to take pictures of food. Especially in Greece, where the presentation is almost as important as the food itself. So, naturally, being the good little brother I am, I started taking pictures of the food Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 24, 2011
- Thursday - Up for dawn and butterfliesSix am the alarm went off and I was up and ready in a couple of minutes. Sue took a little longer as she’s not as fast at waking up as me. The reason we wanted to go to Lindos Posted by SirRogue58 in 2 Weeks On The Island of Rhodes | Feb 23, 2011
- Wednesday - Touring and "off roading"When we woke the next morning we sat on our terrace for a couple of cups of tea and a read. I’m now on my 3rd book this one I obtained from the “library” here at the reception area. Maybe Posted by SirRogue58 in 2 Weeks On The Island of Rhodes | Feb 23, 2011
- Tuesday - Getting the hire carEventually we woke about 9:30 and decided that today we would sort out the hire car. After a couple of cups of tea and some reading we got ready and walked into Pefkos again. The wind was still blowing which Posted by SirRogue58 in 2 Weeks On The Island of Rhodes | Feb 23, 2011
- Monday - Setting off the AlarmNext morning the wind had picked up which was quite refreshing. Whilst Sue was making egg on toast for breakfast I decided a call of nature was called for just as I heard Sue scraping the toast the phone in Posted by SirRogue58 in 2 Weeks On The Island of Rhodes | Feb 23, 2011
- Sunday - Pretending to be Newly WedsAter dozing a little we arrived at Rhodes airport at 3:20 am local time and were relieved as always that the luggage we paid an extra £120 for (still seething) arrived there too. Though we did say if they hadn’t Posted by SirRogue58 in 2 Weeks On The Island of Rhodes | Feb 23, 2011
- And You Thought The Parthenon Was Old...If you've seen The Clash of the Titans, you have certainly heard of Perseus: son of Zeus and Danae, killer of Medusa.... and? How about founder of a city that tested and advanced the culture of Greece, centuries Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 22, 2011
- Unfinished Business...The day after we went to Hydra, we knew that we had a task to attend to: the Parthenon must be visited. I know, there are people who say that it's overrated, that there are plenty of other Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 20, 2011
- Hydrathis would certainly be it. We woke up this morning, took our seasickness pills, and headed over to the port of Piraeus to catch a ferry to our Greek island of choice: Hydra. About an hour-and-a-half by Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 18, 2011
- The Parthenon (or the PartheNOT)When last we wrote, we were at the Plaka, happily munching on Souvlaki and gyros, making our way up the Acropolis toward our ultimate destination: the Parthenon. We wound our way up the narrow lanes, taking pictures of the Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 16, 2011
- Athens - the Plaka and The AcropolisWe woke up (late) today. After a breakfast, we headed out to downtown Athens. We learned that when the Athenians were digging for the Metro, many archeological finds were unearthed - now, some of the stops contain mini-museums, Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 12, 2011
- Getting there...We left Ithaca at 3:30pm Wednesday. After getting to Newark, we discovered that our next flight (the one to Athens) was not full. Not even close. Good news for us! We each had our own row Posted by Dunnie in The Donovan Family Odyssey | Feb 12, 2011
- Worm Attack So it's taken a month but now I believe what I was told when I first landed in the country. The Greek diet is mainly vegetarian. This comes as a surprise as up until now, I thought that Greek cuisine Posted by dzito15 in From the source... | Dec 24, 2010
- Perfect Pomegranate PruningIn a place like Evia, one of Greece's many islands, it doesn't really matter what work you are doing. As long as you are outside, with the sun on your back, looking out over fields of fig and olive trees, Posted by dzito15 in From the source... | Dec 14, 2010
- Edible OlivesAside from the olives taken to the press, we kept a few crates full to preserve for eating. Whoever it was that discovered olives to be edible, certainly deserves some kind of award for perseverance. For anyone who has tried Posted by dzito15 in From the source... | Dec 7, 2010
- AKA Liquid GoldIt's that time of year. Pickup trucks are bumping along the dirt and stone roads, loaded up with crates full of olives. In the fields around them, locals and hired labourers are spreading their nets around the trees and beating Posted by dzito15 in From the source... | Dec 2, 2010
- Cruise Days 11 & 12 - a Sea Day & Crete==Day 70 Wednesday 24 November - “Cruise Day 11 – At Sea”== The clocks have been set forward by an hour as we sail Eastward. Before dawn under a leaden sky we sailed past Stromboli Island – one of three Posted by greynomadm in 2010 World Trip | Nov 25, 2010
- Naxos to Rhodes via Santorini The ferry from Naxos to Santorini was the same one that brought us from Athens to Naxos. The sea was smooth as glass and that incredible blue colour so the 2 ½ hour trip just “flew”, we Posted by lizanddave in Liz and Dave's Travel Adventures | Nov 24, 2010
