I’m on a ferry again!! Who’d a thought a journey on a motorcycle would include that many ferries! Now this one will need a bit of explanation.. I am on my way to an island in north Turkey called Gokceada.. I have heard so much about this island from many years ago as it’s the place my Greek friend Captain Georgios Apistolas comes from...
The ferry from Santorini to Kos, Greece is a midnight ferry. The port is right down the serpentine cliff road.. and here I wait.. all on my lonesome. Well, except for a really cute stray dog that wouldn’t leave my side. If I sat in a chair, he sat IN the chair next to me.. If he heard a noise, he perked up and growled.. how cute to have my own...
Wow.. Athens was so amazing.. wonder what my next stop to the Island of Santorini (Thira) will be like? Turned out to be the exact opposite of my Athens experience.. which again, was more about the people I met, not the location.. During my stay on Santorini, I didn’t have much to do with people at all.. it was all about the location! I have heard...
So.. it’s Alex and I on tour today.. through Athens and to Acropolis! First to tend to some errands though.

First order for the...
Delphi was hard to leave, I knew I could stay there another day.. easy! But I’ve got a plan, and sometimes it’s best to stick with it.. how to absorb so much history in such a short time!? Here are some little snipets of my ride from Delphi to Athens… sorta liked the look in the rear view mirror! I see these everywhere.. in all shapes...
After Meteora, I made a b-line to Delphi or Delphos.. Here is the best explanation from my friend Orestis ( ) in Athens about the name: in Greek we have more than one version for each name depending on the use of it. When you are asked “what’s the name of this place?” the answer is “Delphi” (Δελφοί). If you are asked...
Last year in Croatia, Anton and Marija told me about Meteora.. after seeing their photos I knew I must go. So from Ohrid Macedonia this will be my next stop, but first…. ANOTHER border crossing! To date, all of my border crossings have been a breeze.. the only one that kept me extra long on a cold rainy day was Estonia of all places! ...
