Magnificent Meteora
... solitude, meeting only on Sundays and special days to worship and pray in a chapel built at the foot of a rock known as Dhoupiani. Until the 17th century, the primary means of transporting supplies and people was by means of baskets and rope. This was perfect for the monks; they were safe from political upheaval and had complete control of the entry to the monastery. An amazing, amazing ...
Larisa
From Thessaloniki I hitched to Larisa, the trip was largely unadventurous, it took me quite a long time to get to Malgara with the bus, which is the ideal place to start due to the proximity of a Toll Station which provides an excellent oppurtunity to get a ride.

It is served in small caraffes alongside a bowl of ice and a very large jug of water. There is a constant flow of food brought to the table, a lot of different fish cooked ...
Larissa, food, friends and ghost stories
I manage a bit of a lie in, I am discovering that my Greek friends like to stay up late and sleep in late, I'm more than happy with this way of life, I find when I don't have to work that my body wants to adopt this routine anyway. I get up leisurely, Renos makes me lovely Greek coffee and we set about the business of food talk. We have a reputation in England of being very bad cooks, I know this is a generalisation but I have to agree, ...
