Greece Summer 2025 - Part 8 Galaxidi and Delphi

  Galaxidi. A tiny port town that smells like the sea with narrow alleys that test your driving skills. We stopped here for 2 nights because I decided that it made a good base for our day trip to Delphi. It wasn't peak season yet so even though there were many visitors in town, it wasn't super crowded. A lot of the visitors actually came by boat. There were several restaurants on the main road right by the water, and one of them turned out to be one of our favourite restaurants in Greece! The restaurant was called Skeletovrachos.

Greece Summer 2025 - Part 7 Meteora

  When people say a picture is worth a thousand words, it doesn't apply to Meteora. No pictures can capture how impressive these rock formations are. Only when you see it in person can you truly see how mind-blowing the gigantic rocks with monasteries perched on top are. If you want to visit Meteora, there are two small towns you can stay at. One is Kalabaka (or Kalambaka), and the other is Kastraki. Kalabaka is larger with more food and accommodation options while Kastraki is  much smaller. We stayed for one night and had the opportunity to visit both towns, one monastery while they're open, and saw a few other monasteries from the outside.  The weather that day was very nice. The sun was very bright, we had blue sky, and cool breeze. We didn't know it yet, but it was about to get worse from here... lol Here are some pictures from Meteora, please look forward to the next post!

Greece Summer 2025 - Part 6 Mainland Road Trip Itinerary, Kamena Vourla-Thermopylae

  Our bags were packed and we were ready to continue our journey. It was time to leave the beautiful islands of Greece and head over to the mainland. We took the bus from our AirBnb to the port, and then from there we took a ferry to Athens. Ferry tickets were bought in advance at Ferryhopper . The ferry I had chosen was a huge one, and it's not the fast ferry. I purposely chose a slower ferry because they are less bouncy so it's a more comfortable ride.

Greece Summer 2025 - Part 5 Antiparos

Antiparos Never heard of it before? Neither had I, until I started researching for this trip. Located on the southwest side of the Paros Island, this small island is a nice day trip from Paros. Ferries run from Port of Pounta  in Paros quite frequently, and it takes about 10 minutes to cross. If you have a car, you can drive right on to the ferry and bring your car along to Antiparos.
