We have arrived at Selçuk and it is Saturday night. As usual, we are ‘winging it’, and don’t have a hotel booked as it is offseason. We try a couple and they are both crazy prices for nothing very exciting. But, the minute we walk into the Efes Antik Otel we know we are going to stay […]
Here are our latest adventures – Troy, Yeşilyurt, Adatepe Ottoman Villages Turkey We have finished our time in Gallipoli, so it is time to drive the car on the ferry from Eceabat to Cannakale. I wish we had time to look around this town, but we want to get to Troy, so “we can’t see […]
We have left Porto Carras Grand Resort and headed from Greece toward the Turkish border. It was a cold day, but the sky was blue. I loathe border crossings. I hate the intimidation and the questions, and feeling like a criminal, and how no matter how nice I am, they never smile back. I also knew that […]
I can’t believe it is our last two nights in Greece, as we have just had such an amazing few weeks here, and loved it so much. So we really wanted to finish it in style, and relax and unwind before the hustle and bustle of Turkey. So what better place than a resort in […]
The air is crisp and cool, and the air is filled with anticipation. And, high up in the air, perched on rock ledges and cliffs, are 20 monasteries that are about to unfold some of their mysteries to us today. We are about to embark on a hike over several kilometers to discover The Mysteries of […]
©Exploramum and Explorason – Hotel Famissi We drove nearly all day, with a 2 hour stop in Ancient Delphi, and then heading on past snow-capped mountains toward the Meteora region. We are booked to stay in a lovely hotel called “Hotel Famissi”. When we drive in Kalampaka, it appears that Famissi is a popular name […]
We have arrived at Kalambaka in the Meteora region, and the sun is just setting. It is a cold evening and we have had a long day and an even longer drive, but we want to see the pretty lights of the town. So we drive just to the edge of town – pretty well […]
So – where do you seek the wisdom of the Oracle of Delphi? We have seen this in the movie “My Life In Ruins”, and we thought it was a stone. But as we set out on our hunt, we discover we are wrong – very wrong! We have left Athens (sadly ) and as […]
TBEX Athens through a 9-year-old child’s eyes A kid at a conference? You might think ‘how boring’, but not for Explorason at TBEX Athens. “Hello, Explorason – I follow your blog and read all about you traveling the world”. A stranger comes up to us on our first day in Athens and gives us a […]
Walking Food Tour Athens Greece Kids want to eat; Adults want to eat: We all want to eat! So seeing food is a major part of our lives, it is also a major part of our learning. And as we world-school and travel around the world, we try to learn all sorts of fun and interesting […]
Visiting Cape Sounio Greece with Key Tours We are in Athens for a TBEX conference. And while we were in Athens we chose to take a Tour to Cape Sounio with Key Tours Athens. As we take a breathtaking drive along the scenic coastal road of the Athens Riviera, our guide fills us with such […]
Hellenic Motor Museum Athens Greece One of Explorason’s (and my) passion is for a good motor car. I used to own an old English sports convertible car – a Triumph Spitfire and my parents had a couple of oldies, so I guess I grew up loving classic cars. When we saw that we could visit […]
