To newsletter subscribers, sorry for the long gap but:
We moved from the UK to the USA for the next few months.
We moved from our old newsletter service to this one, Substack.
I had a health issue that put me in hospital for a while, but I want to put that behind me and look to the future!
Greece on the Water
And the future definitely includes Greece. We’re planning a short Greek cruise in the summer with Celestyal Cruises, a company that specialises in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean. The hard part is choosing from the many tempting cruises on offer. That will probably come down to dates.
Sailing in Greece
If you’re interested in sailing in Greece, we do have a page on our website that gives the best islands for sailing holidays:
It’s another tough decision to choose where else we want to go in Greece this year! Although on our website, Greece Travel Secrets, we’re advising people on where to go, we have just as much trouble deciding for ourselves! Do we return to somewhere we know and love, and get to know it a bit better, or do we choose somewhere new?
Island-Hopping in Greece
It’s funny but I’ve just been looking through our own website for advice! There are some islands we haven’t been to yet, mostly smaller ones, so we may try to figure out a way of seeing a few of those on one trip. If you’ve never been island-hopping in Greece, it’s what everyone did before the era of cheap flights. For both of us it was out first way of travelling in Greece, and we’ve written a page of advice here:
Greek Ferry Guide
We also have a Greek Ferry Guide page on the website, so check that out too:
Free Greece ebook
In the future I’m going to offer new subscribers a free download of my ebook, Heaven on Earth, which is available on Amazon. This is a collection of 19 of my own favourite Greece travel stories that I’ve written for newspapers and magazines over the years. They include sharing Greek Easter with a family on Rhodes, working as a waiter in a restaurant on Zakynthos, walking on Paxos, staying at the foot of Mount Olympus, visiting Albania from Corfu, enjoying a private tour of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, travelling the mainland by bus, and experiencing a feast day on Astipalia.
I didn’t want my existing subscribers to miss out on the free copy, so you can download it from here.
