i just got til aeropolis. then i decided to change course because i didn’t want to see any more construction sites of retro replica stone houses. it looked like clones where spreading in the area. but there was also the nice fishing village of trachila. i missed a turn-off and ended up in this village… Continue reading bringing back the past

olympia
olympia is a place i was interested in because my tour feels close to the olympic spirit. i wasn’t sure what to expect since i hadn’t seen any pictures from the archeological site. i was surprised how much of the buildings were intact and you have more for the eyes to see and your imagination… Continue reading olympia
peloponnese
for the night i ended up at a camping place. i don’t know why as i wasn’t that exhausted and there would have been enough spots nearby to spend the night for free. i put up my tent between the campers of birgit and helge on the one and uschi and klaus on the other… Continue reading peloponnese

hellas
the first miles of greece looked a bit unreal. few people live close to the border and there is just one big road with little but forest to both sides. i stayed the night somewhere in those mountains and felt more between two countries and the sound of a trumpet of the bugle call of… Continue reading hellas
albania
i had to leave the coastline to get to the first point where one can cross the border. i had to follow the only road leading to tirane, which was sometimes in very bad condition an smelled of the cheap fuel used for cars and trucks. i cycled a bit faster to reach durres where… Continue reading albania
