Today, I went on a day trip to Stavros for some hiking. The hike turned out to be a different one from the intended, but it was still enjoyable. Continue reading Stavros vs. Bernhard 1:1

Chania, the “real” Greece
I travelled 100 kilometres to the South (by boat), and 100 kilometres to the West (by bus), and am now in Chania, Crete. This town is much more like the Greece I know from my childhood: touristy, but not overly much so. Continue reading Chania, the “real” Greece

After twelve years, I finally returned to the holiday destination of my childhood: Greece. The first three days, I spent on a (very popular) island that I have not visited so far: Santorini. Continue reading Santorini – a must-see (by popular vote)!

From City to Sea

However, that was just what I wanted. So, I simply spent my time lazying around and enjoying the island life on Vis and the neighbouring island of Biševo. Continue reading Green Hills and Blue Caves

Relaxing on the Party Island
Hvar is known to be a party island. However, it is also suitable for relaxing and doing nothing – being a Croatian island, it also has sun and beach to offer. Continue reading Relaxing on the Party Island

Split away from the tourist hordes
Split is also overrun with tourists – even now, after the end of high season. So, I tried to explore the city at rather uncommon times, and visit rather uncommon places. This way, I got spend some nice time in the city. Continue reading Split away from the tourist hordes

The Balkans are at the sea!
In the past two days, I took advantage of the location of Zadar at the sea: I spent one day lazying around at the beach, and one day on a boat trip to the islands along the coast. Continue reading The Balkans are at the sea!

Venice is in the Balkans!
While Zagreb was dominated by k.u.k. architecture, the Venetian (and sometimes even Roman) influence cannot be overlooked in Zadar. Continue reading Venice is in the Balkans!
