Goodbye Greece: Papigo Dreaming & The Butcher of Zagorohoria
/0 Comments/in Albania, Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanThanks to a great — and late—evening with new friends at Dryoino, I could not get up early. It’s noon when I am packed and ready to go.

Outside The Walls of Ioannina Castle Town
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanIoannina is relaxed, comfortable, and easy. With my bike parked safely inside the old city, I walk around and then outside the walls along the lake.

Dining Off The Well Traveled Path In Lefkada
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanI find it hard to leave Lefkada. The beautiful beaches, the great food and wine, and most of all, the friendly locals. Take Panagiotis Kollokas, one of the family members that own and operate Taverna Kollokas, a restaurant tucked into the tiny hillside village of Katouna, just a few miles south of Lefkada. My brother, […]
Athens to Paradise. Welcome to Lefkada!
/0 Comments/in Europe, Greece, Travelogue /by allanBefore leaving Athens, I have a little more business handle. So after a nice breakfast on the rooftop at the A for Athens Hotel where I was happy to join Dimitri’s family, but Dimitri is still sleeping. Since he drives back to his village in the Peloponnese today, they let him sleep in. Today, I […]
