Today we visited the archeological site of Olympia where the first Olympics were held in 776 BC. The ruins and setting were stunning. We then traveled to Delphi and stopped at the quaint seaside village of Nafpaktos which has an iron and bronze sculpture of Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes who fought as a young Spanish soldier in the historic Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Tomorrow, Delphi.

Greece Trip

I’m looking for recommendations on the best universal travel adapter to take to Greece. I want to make sure it’s safe to use with my hair straightener and blow dryer without damaging either appliance. Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable adapter or voltage converter?

Recommendations Please help!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been to Greece a few times and absolutely loved it, my partner is desperate to go so I'm booking him a surprise holiday for his 30th birthday. My issue is: I've been looking for an all inclusive, luxury resort, but I want it to be somewhere central where we don't have to travel for ages to explore and experience Greece in all its beauty, and that just doesn't seem to exist?! I'm super happy to go half-board, but I need recommendations for beautiful, luxury hotels, near the beach and central to lots of places to travel! Can anyone recommend any please? His birthday is this weekend and I kid you not I've been trailing through holiday websites for like 2 straight weeks and I'm starting to run out of time 😭

Athens Xmas Eve and Day

1 Upvotes

Hello! Any suggestions for dinner reservations in Athens for the holidays. Also, advice or suggestions on attending religious services for the cultural experience (as a non practitioner?) The Greek Orthodox churches are so interesting. In US we sometimes attend midnight Xmas Eve services. Will there be similar in Athens?

Recommendations 5 days on Rodos, early November

1 Upvotes

Hi, we are a family of three, we will visit Rodos in the beginning of November (coming from Marmaris by ferry). We were thinking on staying in one of the bigger hotels in Ixia or Ialysos (haven't booked anything yet). We have some questions for more experienced travellers.

We opted for Ixia or Ialysos because of the proximity to the city of Rodos and because it is on the west coast (watching sunsets from the hotel balcony or from the beach). Also we lean towards bigger hotels to keep us occupied, since we imagine swimming in pools or in the sea is no longer possible? We will rent a car and drive around a bit.

What do you think? Are other areas on Rodos nicer? Are those big hotels just ghost towns now or are there some visitors still?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
