Messologi, Agrinio (and a little bit of Aitoliko) – *Pandemic Edition*

For a long time, we wanted to visit our friends Panos and Evie in Agrinio. At last, we found the right time to visit and also took the opportunity to see Messologi for the first time. It was a 3-day trip, including just a night’s stay in Messologi and another…

Trizonia (Summer 2019)

In July 2019 we spent some days in Nafpaktos. This time we went to Trizonia, a group of islets in the middle of the Corinthian Gulf. There is a small village on one of them, which we visited. There is a really relaxed atmosphere on the island. Kids would play…

Nafpaktos in Summer

(Photos from the summer of 2016) When our youngest son, Dimitris, was 4 months old, we were looking for a nice place near Athens to stay for a couple of weeks in the summer. We found a nice apartment with a small back yard in a garden, in Nafpaktos which…

Karpenisi : “Through bushes and through briars…” – but mainly oak and fir

On the last weekend of August we had a quick getaway from the city, to make amends for our ruined summer vacation. The weather was not what you would call optimal for a swim at the sea so we decided that we go to Karpenisi. Karpenisi is in a region…

Nafpaktos in Fall – The Lightning Fast Trip

Faster than “Flash, The Fastest Man Alive”, we went to Nafpaktos for a weekend (again). We did not regret it, as this time we visited the highlands of Nafpaktos and enjoyed very much a trek from the village of Ano Hora to Kato Hora. In Kato Hora there is a…

The Hectic Vacation of 2012, Part One

It has been a while since our last trip (last summer with our 3-month-old baby Myrto who now is 16 months old). This year we had the chance to have an extended vacation, so we travelled to three of our favourite places in Greece: Corfu, Crete and Evia. I titled…

Nafpaktos in Spring

Nafpaktos is a town in the mainland of Greece, on the northern coast of the Corinthian Gulf, near the Rio-Antirrio Bridge. It was a major port during the rule of the Venetians, who had fortified the city strongly.For us it was not as much a historic experience, as it was…

Bonus Pic from Athens

Summertime in Thissio, near the train station. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere, so I took a photo with my phone… quality is far from perfect, but… you get the idea.

Mt. Parnassos

These photos are from a month back, when we went to Delphi, Polydroso and Eptalofo in Mt. Parnassos. Those places were not crowded yet, because there was -still- no snow in January!! We were invited to Polydroso by a good friend and colleague. We took advantage of the good weather,…
