We decided to go to Ionion Blue Tavern because it’s highly regarded for its traditional Greek cuisine, relaxed atmosphere, and prime location right on the Ionian Sea sand. Plus, it was free to stay there. Where to stay We stayed in the huge car park of the Ionion Blue Tavern (30.045799, 21.318899, lat, long), right next to the beach. The […]
Kato Alissos is a quiet coastal village in the northwest Peloponnese. It’s known for its pristine beaches overlooking the Gulf of Patras and for being an ideal nature retreat for campers and travellers. When we visited the village, almost everything was under construction, so it wasn’t very attractive, but the surrounding beaches and the small port of Alikes are wonderful. […]
We decided to cross via the bridge, as it’s a direct route, but it costs almost 50 euros, so next time we’ll take the ferry, even though it takes longer. We saw that there was a brewery on the outskirts of Patras where we could stay for free and that they had live music on Friday nights, so we decided […]
We decided to stop in Arta, the capital of Epirus, because it’s full of archaeological sites and brimming with life, with charming pedestrian areas, cafes, and bars. Arta is famous for its bridge, its Byzantine castle, and National Resistance Square. The square is a meeting point for locals and is full of shops, cafes, bars, and a very pretty church. […]
Ammoudia is a tiny village on the Ionian coast, with lots of tavernas and a fishing port where you can buy fish directly from the fishermen when they return in the morning. The village sits on a fine sandy beach at the mouth of the Acheron River. It is a truly beautiful place. Where to stay We stayed in the […]
After 20 hours on the ferry and sleeping on the bar’s sofas, we decided to go somewhere nearby to relax and chose Plataria. We only knew it was a beach town, and we loved it. Primarily used as a marina, it has developed into a tourist resort in recent years. It has a small centre by the port, charming tavernas, […]
We decided to visit Fano before taking the ferry to Greece. When we visited Fano, we discovered a very lively city with a beautiful old town. We were told that the city dates back 2,000 years and it was founded by Julius Caesar in 49 BC. We were there on a Sunday, and the entire old town was a bustling […]
We went to Cesenatico, which we’d never heard of before, because we saw it had a port designed by Leonardo da Vinci. It’s a coastal town, but we didn’t like the beach at all. What we loved, however, was the port designed by Leonardo da Vinci, which is magnificent with sailboats, bridges, bars and delicious food. The old town, with […]
We went to Ravenna because we could park in the centre and explore the city on foot. We knew it had a basilica and other remarkable buildings, but we didn’t know that Dante’s tomb was there, nor that it had so many UNESCO World Heritage sites. We spent several hours wandering around the city, and it was well worth it; […]
We were going to Florence, but the motorhome area was full, the campsites were on the outskirts and incredibly expensive, so we decided to go to Barberino di Mugello, a town between Florence and Bologna. When I looked at the town, I saw that it was very old, with a historic centre dating back to the Middle Ages. In the […]
