  • Thursday 28th May – Naxos Filoti was another inland village we wanted to visit and do some walking from – it was one of the bigger villages in the relatively fertile centre of Naxos. Had a coffee in Filoti to start the day and then Posted by Jan_n_Dave in The BIG Greek trip | Jun 1, 2009
  • Wednesday 27th May – Naxos Went in to the main town, Hora, for a few things – some shopping (food and pressies) and the internet for Jan for work. The latter was available via wifi at a Café for the cost of a coffee (which Posted by Jan_n_Dave in The BIG Greek trip | Jun 1, 2009

  • Greece: Rhodes and Crete Amazing. If I had to sum up Greece in one word it would probably be just that. Or Stunning. Or Tranquil. Or Mesmerizing. Or if I get 4 words it would be “just what Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | May 28, 2009
  • On to Athens We arrived in Athens on Wednesday afternoon and headed to our hotel in the city. We're staying at a really small hotel in the shadow of the Hilton called the Delice. Actually, calling it a hotel probably isn't Posted by RRCogan in Mediterranean Roots | May 29, 2009
  • Monday 25th May – Naxos Did another walk from the book and hoped it would be along better defined paths.

  • Sunday 24th May – Naxos Had a good night’s sleep (and although Jan heard the neighbouring mule/donkey bellowing, Dave didn’t). Went on our first planned walk using a walk book we bought.

  • Saturday 23rd May – Naxos Needed to go to town (Hora) for food so decided to look around.

  • Friday 22nd May – to Naxos Island Up before 6.00 am (not Jan’s favourite time) to get the ferry. The seats in economy (no seat no.) are just loose seats at tables dotted around different parts of the large ferry. Found a table for 2 in Posted by Jan_n_Dave in The BIG Greek trip | May 29, 2009
  • Thursday 21st May – Sounion - Pireaus Today is the day we return the car and go to Pireaus, ready to catch the ferry to Naxos tomorrow.

  • Wednesday 20th May – Sounion Left the hotel (Yes!!) and headed off to Cape Sounion, south of Athens.

  • Tuesday 19th May – Meteora - ?? Set off not being quite sure where we were headed to. Dave had read about a fishing village on the east coast – on the way back to Athens that sounded good. Thought we might stay there for a couple Posted by Jan_n_Dave in The BIG Greek trip | May 27, 2009
  • Monday 18th May – Meteora First job for the morning was finding somewhere to get a new tyre – relatively quickly and efficiently done due to the advice of the man from the hotel. Very pleased that not too time consuming and costly. So up to Posted by Jan_n_Dave in The BIG Greek trip | May 27, 2009
  • Dia 62 - Athens to Bari (Italia) Hoy comienza el viaje hasta Napoles Italia. Primero el tren hasta Patras, que en verdad hay que cambiarse de tren en el medio del camino.

  • Crete Can be Crazy Crete, the largest island in Greece, is diverse, unique, and demanding. Lacking some of the characteristic charm of smaller islands, Crete is not your typical Greek experience.
