Volterra and Livorno
Wednesday 7th May Silla to Livorno via Volterra, Italy It rained a little in the night and we woke up to a chilly morning. We were in the mountains so I shouldn’t have been surprised that the temperature was as low as 13°. But I was. We slowly packed up, there wasn’t a reason to…

Paestum
Day 73 6.6.23 Specchiolla to Paestum. We decided not to go down to Otranto to see the castle as we were going to have come straight back up the heel of Italy after, so it’s on the list of next time visits. Instead Gareth had seen a post on FB about Paestum. We’d never heard…

Palaia Epidaurus
Day 44 Palaia Epidaurus This little campsite is fab. It’s a bit dated services wise but it’s what we call an authentic Greek campsite, like an authentic Greek Taverna, few and far between on the well trodden tourist paths now. Today we took a walk along the beach to what they call the Sunken City…

Epidaurus
Day 43 Kantias, Nafplio to Palaia Epidavros via the Ancient Theatre at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus. Do you remember me saying that the access road for the campsite was hairy? Well today was the reverse. We had to get our 4.5t front wheel drive van up and around the shiny concrete road. Managing to actually…

Sparta
Day 39 Kalamata to Gythio Lakonias via Sparta, Greece The threatened rain overnight didn’t materialise thankfully, so we all had a very peaceful night’s sleep. Our first visit this morning was to the local market. We didn’t know what to expect but it seems Wednesday’s market is a produce one. We strolled around the covered…
