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 […]
Amazing Acropolis Athens When a nine-year-old boy has a desire to see a city, then I think that is exciting. Explorason’s “Bucket List” had Sydney, New York, London, Paris, Rome and Athens on it. He wants to go to Thailand, Egypt, and China in the future. And the list is growing. So when we found […]
We have arrived in Athens. I drive around (and no – Athens traffic is not that crazy either), with a list of hotels to look at, and they all look pretty bad. We head to an area where we are due to have a conference, and the prices are sky high for hotels, or they […]
Yay – we explore Athens on a Segway How excited is this nine-year-old? On our world journey, we have tried several times to ride a Segway, but due to Explorason’s age, we never found a company that allowed it. But Athens Segway Tours were different. They have special smaller Segway that short adults and older […]
