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.

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 […]

A boat ride 250 meters underground through Diros Caves – Mani Peloponnese Greece Down the mouth of the cave, we go, donning life jackets and stepping precariously into a very flat small wooden boat.
