Today we crossed the border to Bulgaria. Drive to Edessa for the night and continue to the oldest city in Europe: Plovdiv. Come along looking at the pictures! Beer tasting – last beer in Greece Beer tasting – first beer in Bulgaria In the distance a modern wood truck – in front of the car…
After the nice evening at the fireplace, we slept really good at the Agios Germanos Traditional Hotel. The breakfast was even better than the dinner – just look at it :-) Best breakfast of the whole trip! Prespa Lake in the morning And back to the car On the 15 towards the E86 – the…
Neraida Neraida in the offseason. We were the only guests at our hotel and probably the only ones in the town. So it was quite in the night – I love offseason! There was no breakfast at the hotel so we took off and continued towards our next destination. View from the balcony View from…
After our party evening, we had a good nights rest and some coffee in the morning. After that, we hit the mountains behind Kalabaka to see the Meteora rocks and the monasteries up there. In the early 9th century monks started to stay in the caves there. It took another 500 years and they started…
After a few lazy days in Athens, it was time to hit the road. The car is old and the seats really shitty. There was no music only the radio – and no way to connect the iPhone. And even if – Mitsos has one of the worst tastes in music there is. So that…
Mitsos has some friends from Hamburg. They have the car from Germany on the island and are happy when somebody drives it back to Germany again. This year it worked well with my schedule. I took a flight down to Athens and we drove 3 weeks back to Stuttgart. The first step is of course:…
Roaming the streets of Athens one night i had to stop for this very special Mini Cooper! This is the smallest Mini Cooper i have seen so far. Would love to take it for a spin – it looks so much fun. Did you ever saw a smaller one??
The last days on the island of Kythira: Quite and hot. We had above 30 every day and almost no wind. Most of the tourists are gone and so it is quite on the beach and in the bars. Most of the places are closed for the winter so you meet everybody in the last…
Mitsos, his mother and Elena gave me a lift to Athens with the car. We did stay at their house in Athens for a very short night. Than it was off to the airport. Thanks Mitsos for putting me there! Landed in Stuttgart with 140 minutes delay yesterday night. The Greek air monitoring system was…
A few days ago we did bring Mitsos sister to the airport here in Kythira. A small runway far from everything. Like the port – very far from everything. Guess the local gas stations have a say where to put things on this island. On the way back home we did pass the last resting…
The other day i went with Maria to Potamos. We did some shopping in the Shop on the island of Kythira that has everything. And i do not exaggerate! French Opinel knives, all sort of screws and nails, tools for the home, car and garden, kitchen stuff, bedroom stuff, hats, trousers, fishing gear whatever you…
A few days after i arrived on Kythira my friends father passed away. Not nice but a chance to see how they do it in Greece. Interesting customs and all so different from back home. At last everybody on the island gets his last ride in a Mercedes Benz 300 T-Model. And the graveyard in…
