The Last Lefkada Supper
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanI stay an extra night in Lefkada. I want to ride the island one more time. Take comfort and revel in awe at these beautiful beaches. I also share a sunset and meal with Adonis, the owner of the villa, Thea Resort, my brother Jonathan and his friends rented a few years ago. Full of […]
Bliss. Riding The Island and Savoring The Waters of the Ionian Sea.
/1 Comment/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanThe cool evening breeze is a welcome relief from the heat of the hot summer days here in Lefkada. Nick and the entire staff at the Hotel Konaki are welcoming and offer suggestions for dinner, so I walk to nearby Seven Islands on my first night on the island and the second night to […]
Dining Off The Well Traveled Path In Lefkada
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanI find it hard to leave Lefkada. The beautiful beaches, the great food and wine, and most of all, the friendly locals.

Tucked into the hillside on the coast in the northwestern Peloponnese an hour south of Kalamata, it is a quiet town sitting on cliffs that form a small bay with a beach and surrounded by olive groves. There are nice coffee shops, restaurants, souvlaki joints, and a handful of specialty shops run […]
Signs of August: The Greek Holiday Begins
/2 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanThe sign tells all. This popular taverna in Kardamyli shuts down for the entire month of August. The Greeks are hitting the road and the skies. I’m told most Greeks escape Greece or take in their own country during the month of August. It’s probably time for me to head north. But there’s still some […]
The Mani Road to Kardymili
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanI’d like to stay more days at the bottom of Greece here in Porto Kagio, but the road calls me and it’s time to explore the north. I bid the owners farewell, but before I suit up, the owner helps me repair the 7€ hat I bought in Napflio—the glue holding the black hand that […]
