4Runner Roadtrip – A Race Across Turkey and a Holiday in Greece
With our time in Georgia finishing up and our doctors appointments set in Turkey, we reluctantly left our sea side town. We were quite curious to see the Black Sea from the Turkey coast line. Our plan was to spend a few weeks, maybe more going across the top of Turkey and finishing our loop […]
4Runner Roadtrip – Sardinia to Turkey
After almost 6 months living on Sardinia we were ready to head out on our big Caucuses adventure. Shani had successfully navigated the Italian citizenship system and had a freshly minted Italian passport and ID card. None of which would have been possible without the help of our new friends Nicola and our landlady Piera. […]
RV Roadtrip – Ancient Corinth, Athens, Delphi and Meteora
After a sad farewell to our new best friends we were headed off to see some of the most famous tourist sites in Greece. So long to the carefree wild camping and life in the Peloponnese, off to the ancient ruins of Greece! First stop, Ancient Corinth. We parked up at a small and rustic […]
RV Roadtrip – Wild Camping in Greece, the Dimitrios Shipwreck and Monemavasia
After our days in Kalamata our next stop was Gytheio and another free PJ’s camping spot. Gytheio is the site of ancient Cranae, the island where according to legend Paris of Troy and Helen from Sparta spent their first night together before departing for Troy, thus igniting the Trojan War. Gytheio was also the sea […]
RV Roadtrip – More Greek Peloponnese, Methoni, Pylos Marina and Kalamata
After our ‘wild camping’ with Marley, Fiona and Jay, we were headed off to Camping Thines for a few days. We had a nice but rainy stay there and had a wander into the local village and marina for drinks. It was an idyllic little village but quite sleepy in the off season. We also […]
RV Roadtrip – The Greek Peloponnese and Ancient Olympia
Our first stop after Ioannina was Camping Ionion Beach. While they have similar sounding names Ionion beach is actually about 300 kilometers (~186 miles) south of Ioannina. The drive was pretty uneventful and the highlight was the fantastic Rion-Antirion toll bridge as we neared Patras. As I’ve mentioned before, the driving style was tolerable in […]
RV Roadtrip – Albania to the Greek Peloponnese
After leaving the camping in Gjirokastër our first destination in Greece was the shores of Lake Ioannina (or Lake Pamvotida or Pamvotis I guess, depending on who you ask?) in a town also called Ioannina. Ioannina is a very old town. Traditionally Ioannina is dated to the 6th century when the construction of a new, “well-fortified” city by the […]
