26/12/2022 After a long time we were on our way again solo. Amber had left for Crete and Kai… well, I don’t remember where Kai was. In any case, we really wanted to visit Meteora, with its world-famous monasteries. That meant we had to drive a bit inland. To split up the long trip we …
We crawl up a bit more on the map, after recovering from our visit to Athens. We have now arrived in the second half of December (2022). The days are getting noticeably shorter and the mild climate we were used to in the Peloponnese is gradually making way for chillier temperatures. We can count ourselves …
Before we continue with our story: I found a whole series of photos of the abandoned hotel “Saladi”, which you can view at the bottom of the post about Nafplio and Monemvasia. It was absolutely not on our schedule – the loyal reader knows by now that we don’t visit big cities too often – …

We stay on the Peloponnese for a while because there are still a few places worth mentioning. Apart from our mishap last time, it is already clear that this peninsula is a true paradise for campers (or #vanlifers for those who are cool). You stand and go almost where you want and due to the …
Well, life is not a pony camp, or sometimes it isn’t. Because after our visit to the Dmitrios wreck (more on that later) we went to Sparta or Sparti in Greek. And there we suffered from uninvited guests… Sparti… the city of Leonidas I Sparti, or Sparta, is a city located in the heart of …
I thought it would be a good idea to sketch where we have all been. Because it’s hard to imagine if you’ve never been there. That’s why I took a screenshot of our Polarsteps… Polylimnio waterfalls In our case we left the first western ‘finger’ of the peninsula to the right in favor of the …
After our educational but exhausting trip to Olympia (#sarcasm), it was time to satisfy our inner hippies and relax for a few weeks. But that didn’t go without a hitch… Until now we had been looking for a new place between Igoumenitsa and Peloponnese every 1 or 2 days. We gradually began to crave for …

The hidden gem of the Ionian Sea Back in time, no, not to the ancient Greeks, but to the last days of October ’22. Then we hung out on Levkada. Levkada, also called Lefkas or Lefkada, is an enchanting Greek island in the Ionian Sea. As one of the lesser known holiday destinations, it offers …

We are going to shift up a gear now that we have arrived in Greece, I want to be able to tell everything before our next trip! It was still a very pleasant late summer in the southernmost country of the Balkans and our days shifted down a gear, contrary to what has been said …
