Acropolis Now

Just a quick snap from our hotel to prove we're here.

A very straightforward trip brought us safely into Central Athens by about 8.00.

A stroll to a charming street taverna somewhere we might find again, where we had a nice meal accompanied by 2 excellent musicians with a splendid repertoire of (probably) folk music.  The style fell so where between Fado and Arabic but produced a delightful backdrop to dinner.

Although we have a view of the Acropolis from our room, we popped up onto the roof for a closer look.

Overview of our trip

After a brief but glorious English spring it is time to fast-forward into summer.  We are off to the Greece to enjoy 3 different islands in the Cyclades.

We will travel from Athens via Piraeus to Serifos, then make a short crossing to Sifnos before travelling on to Milos before returning to Athens.

We will travel mainly by inter-island ferry and use local transport while on the islands.

We will post some pictures and stories as we go.

We look forward to you joining us on our travels.
