Greece, part 2

If you started to travel, it's really hard to stay in one place for a long time - you need to change locations, see something new and feel different emotions. It's like constant war: still, comfort, concentration, dip from one side and easyness, diversity, curiosity, move, communication from other.
So me moved extra grain on mobile bowl of weights and we moved.
To #Patras!
Along the #sea and with 2 stops.
Forest one was near town of #Astakos. Nice small beach under the steep rocky slope. The weather is ☀️ and warm. Small Town is extremely cute. So we had dinner there and some competitions with "Artakos bouldering table" πŸ§—πŸΈ



Sea at the morning is so welcoming. Travel to #Aitoliko - small town on the island. Lunch there (uh, now we recall how hard it could be to find a place to eat in EU at Sunday). And another competition: try to hit the coffee cup on the top of the road sign with the friend's shoe. Extremely funny but also hard. Need more practice πŸ˜…



Looking for the place to stay for the night we went to sea. But it was too stormy and too much wind. So we went other side - to the mountains. After some explorations we found small church on the peak of the πŸ—». Very beautiful view, nice place around and... It was hard decision, but we agreed to sleep inside of the church. No wind and warmer... Nice option. We expected some guests at evening or morning, but nobody came. Not much religion left here or just coincidence?

Greece, part 1

We were in hurry to get to #Greece from #Albania. It's not like Albania is bad, but Greece it's Greece - our goal, land of dreams. Sunny and warm...
And the first day started awesome - we picked up 3 #hitchhikers on our way to #Ioannina. They appeared to be #travellers from France and Norway going... who knows where. Around the globe. So, we went into deep conversation about journeys. In Ioannina we split. But one girl, Noemi, stayed with us for some travels. So from now on we are in five.
First night we spent in town with Italian name #Preveza. Actually it was 4 night, but we understood it later. Very cute city near the sea. Old town, ancient ruins of #Nikshich nearby, orange gardens and eucalyptus forests. After accommodation in apartments we moved to seaside and put our camp in eucalyptus groove. Breakfast on the beach, exploring nearby nature and architecture, nights near the fire. That was amazing time.










And dogs. Did of Greece are amazingly friendly. Home or homeless, doesn't matter. They are glad to see you. That's really cool.

Moving deeper

Difference between staying on the sea coast and staying 10 km deeper into the land is significant. Sea makes air much wormer and pleasant. And small but constant wind dry the tent from inside. And it still available for swimming 🏊



Tesla pride

Every respectful #Balkan country hurry to be proud of Nikola# Tesla. Because he is their guy. #Croatia, #Montenegro, #Albania, #Serbia, #Bos...
