Have I mentioned that we love Crete? I think I might have said it once or twice! But here we are again, back on the island, but this time in Kaya. All very exciting! So, just a bit about the island. Travelling around the island, the mountains are constant. ...
2017 Manchester to Crete
Day 87-88 : Crossing to & arriving in Crete
We’ve got to say that it is probably far easier to fly over to Crete than to go by ferry….without an 8.5m motorhome, that is….but it may have been a tad expensive to send Kaya in the cargo hold of an EasyJet flight!!!! (Easyjet are not the only commerical...
Day 84-86 : Delphi, Greece
We’re continuing our journey through the Pindus Mountains in Greece today – my goodness but the range is massive and we never quite realised it till now. Having skirted through the foothills to Loutra Ypatis, we are now heading back into the mountains proper on our way to the...
Day 83 : Ypati, Greece
We’ve changed or minds (which we’ve been known to do once or twice!) and decided that instead of driving directly to Delphi, that we are going to do a stopover at some local hot springs on the way. So our new destination is Loutra Ypatis, the village of a...
Day 80-82 : Meteora, Greece
The view over the lake as we left Ioannina behind was spectacular and set us up for a good drive over the Pindus mountains to Meteora. If you’re travelling yourself whilst reading this, there are loads of laybys here (and it’s a quiet road) for overnight stops – just...
Day 79 : Ioannina, Greece
Decision made, we’re off again. Sometimes, like here in Lychnos, when we are having a wonderful time, it’s difficult to tear ourselves away. But there are still so many things to do and see that we need to push on. When we tell people that we will be travelling...
Day 74-78 : Lychnos, Greece
Talk about a gorgeous drive…..as we made our way to the coastal town of Lychnos from Ioannina, we were treated to these views descending from the top of the mountains. We’re about halfway down our very own mini Transfaragasan in Greece! But finally we were at the bottom and...
Day 73 : Ioannina, Greece
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that count and all it takes is a cup of Greek coffee to make you feel grounded and happy. It has been a bit of a drive around Ioannina today looking for somewhere to lay our heads down for a rest so...
Day 72 : Montenegro & Albania
Have I mentioned that we don’t have any insurance cover for Kaya for these countries? As they’re not in the EU, our existing insurance isn’t valid for them. We’ve debated the issue over a couple of weeks and the choices are (1) backtrack the l-o-n-g way round through Croatia...
Day 69-71 : Dubrovnik, Croatia
I could only describe the weather, as we took our leave from Lovište, as moody. Still beautiful though. We slowly wound our way down to the foot of the peninsular and back onto mainland Croatia with Kaya’s nose pointing ever further south to Dubrovnik. And as we parked up...
