chill out day
POLSKI: Spalismy prawie do 11tej. Bylo tak goraco, ze krecilismy sie po mieszkaniu bez celu. Po prysznicach i sniadaniu znowu polozylismy sie spac. Marcina bralo przeziebienie (klimatyzowane lokale!) i od razu zasnal, ja polozylam sie w drugim pokoju i ...
the BLACK POINT

All the way to the top
We have decided to stick around Nafplio today. We started out with a very hearty breakfast at the one restaurant that we were able to find open. It was called Popeye's. They had a very hearty breakfast with coffee. We were the only ones in the ...
Mycenae

POLSKI: Do Olimpii zabiera nas auto - budka kempingowa z Austriakami mieszkajacymi w Czechach w srodku. Marcin marudzi, ze przyjechalismy tu dla "jakis ruin", ale mnie wlasnie o to chodzilo :). Chcialam poczuc historie na wlasnej skorze. Wstep dla ...
bizantine wonders

One last day in Athens
... by Greek and foreign artists, manuscripts, as well as a large collection of traditional costumes from the various regions of Greece. We wandered the building relatively alone. It was a really peaceful morning. The old Assembly hall in the ...
day at a beach
... so good. There is no room for dancing and people don't really know how to have fun. And we thought that the entertainment in Greece will be like in Poland but better. We`re gonna have to leave Athens soon. Maybe the province is different? We got back ...

... people, relaxing on bizarre black volcanic rock beaches and, occasionally, just one too many drinks. Santorini? Brilliant. After a shaky start, Greece has finally delivered and ended on a high. So, to the top 5. In all honesty, Santorini hasn't ...
Mykonos here we come
We set sail to Mykonos instead of Paros due to incoming inclimate weather. The nauseating waves beat the boat back for 6 hours but at least we get to spot a pilot whale and make it safely, and vomit-free, to Mykonos where we raft up with a friendly ...
Can you hear me now?

Mykonos, beach by beach
Wake up after probably the best sleep in a few weeks and rent an ATV on which we spend the day going from beach to beach to beach... tough life here! We went to town and looked at art and enjoyed crepes and ice cream. Back at the hotel, we ...
