Here are some selections from my summer trip to Greece which was carefully coordinated by my brother, Luke. I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to join his family to this beautiful and welcoming place.
On Day three, we headed out to Delphi for a day trip to see the ruins there.
Day 4 we took a ferry to the island of Hydra. There are no cars on the island, but walking around town and to the beach was amazing.
After a couple days in Hydra, we ferried onto the Peloponnese peninsula. We rented a car and headed down the coast to Nafplio.
One night we drove into Epidavros to attend a tragedy at a fourth century BC theater.
After two nights there, we drove through the mountains South to Sparta on the way to our stay in Paralia and visit to the old town of Monemvasia.
We then headed West along the southern coast to Kardimyli, stopping by a shipwreck on the way.
Later that day, we made the 3 hour drive back north, crossing the Corinth canal and making our way back to Athens for two more nights.
The last evening was spent catching the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon, East of Athens.
