Follow The Mani
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanThe internet at Kali Mera Inn on Elafonisos was hardly acceptable, but I stayed two days, anyway. The beach allures me, and I’m at least sorting through the digital photos and videos that have piled up since the wedding. I also made yet another friend while drifting in the aquamarine waters. From Athens, Makis is […]
Taking It Easy In Elafonisos
/1 Comment/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanWith a short ride to Elafonisos, I take advantage of the morning and ride the mile stretch back to the medieval city of Monemvasia, this time to fly the drone and capture the majesty and work that the Byzantines did to create this city some 800 years ago. It’s spectacular. It’s also my late brother […]
Moving To Monemvasia
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanThe two women with brooms and buckets lingering in the hallway outside my small room here at the Mystras Inn make me anxious.

The Greeks love their beaches. Popular organized beaches are close to […]
The Huge Britt & Pan Greek Wedding Part 2
/2 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanI cannot believe I’m in Greece. I’m with Doc, my bike, which is a huge thing. Even more, I will celebrate the marriage of my good friend Pan and his beautiful bride Brittany in a small village in the rugged mountains of the Peloponnese. At the Huge B&P wedding Part 1 outside Vancouver Canada, I […]
Celebrating Name Day With A Pig Roast & Pink Mountain Wine!
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanSouth of Nafplio, the first capital of modern day Greece, is the small village of Kiveri. On the coast in the Peloponnese about two hours west of Athens, Kiveri is the hometown of Panayioti’s (aka “Pan” — the producer of my TV show and who has traveled with me to China, Iceland, and Mexico) mother […]
