[mikebeaches]

Astonishingly superb images Tam - really appreciate you taking the time and trouble to share them.

I’m loving it too…just what the imagination needs on these cold, dark days.. Thank you. X

 

[StephandJohn]

Beautiful photos Tam. Thanks for sharing.

Did you get any vibes as to the main nationality of the people investing in the properties in gerolimenas.
Might be an indicator to outward investment in the area, just a passing interest it’s odd how a dormant community all of a sudden comes alive.

Not a clue unfortunately, couldn't see anyone about other than the builders doing the work .

Tam I am really enjoying the photos from your trip this year. I know others may not agree but Greece looks much nicer compared to your photos of Morocco last year.

Don't bring the cat home , I don't think the dogs would forgive you

Yeah I would choose Greece over morroco everytime. Although I've been very lucky with the weather this year. 24° today .. its lovely

Any Fresh fish off the boats available?, that would be the icing on the cake for me.
Plus a coffee and a chat in a harbour cafe, maybe find out where they sell their fish, I guess it must be transported a long way by road to the fish market this time of year as tourism is low and the restaurant's/hotels look to be closed.
Enjoying this trip also, you have been lucky with the weather this year, much better than previous, remember seeing constant heavy rain with hailstones in Turkey a couple of years back over the new year period.
Have Fun in the Sun.
LES

these photo's are just fantastic, i'm really wanting to go now and explore Greece

being that our motorhome is 8.8mtrs do you think going your route and destinations we would have any issues, the last place Gythio looks fabulous, is their much open in the way of bars, eateries. What the parking up like especially for an overnight stop

cheers and hope you have a great and safe New Year

There are plenty big wagons around Greece. Sure someplaces might be harder to reach .. you may have to avoid the dirt tracks and some of the beach park ups I do but you'll be able to access the main places no probs. There's always bars and restaurants open in the bigger towns . Park ups are easy in winter time , summer will be more difficult of course but I prefer the quieter out of season time.

Dimitrios shipwreck ,we stayed there last night, just 4 campers overnight....amazing how much it has changed in the last 2 years.

 

[Mikey RV]

Love those photos of the old wreck.

The wreck has been there 42 years, according to Wikipedia.

I am so enjoying reading your thread, the photographs especially the drone ones are amazing.Thank you!

Yep that's right it's been there since 1981.

 

[corconx]

What a change. Fantastic photos, wish we had your blue skies and sun. We’re doing well for rain, heavy short showers and very windy.

 

[Grianan]

Greece is now firmly on our bucket list … reserving judgement on Turkey but hoping you’ll convince us

Fantastic pic lovely seeing that gorgeous blue sky after all the rain we have been getting

A year after the Athena B, a Greek Registered ship, ran aground at Brighton, my mum took me and my brother to see it on the beach.

That sky is so blue - the water not far behind - and back here it's soooo grey.........

You're doing more for the Greek tourist board than anyone else! I've never really considered going there as in summer it would be way, way too hot for me - but in the future, out of season at this time of year, that looks very tempting indeed. I know campsites aren't your thing, we tend to do a bit of a mix, do you know if they stay open out of main season?

I haven't seen Any to be honest. So I'm probably the wrong person to ask.

How do you get your water Tam?

How do you get your water Tam?

Village taps, churchyards and closed beach bars. Getting water is pretty easy . Disposing of waste isn't.

Tam is right: water is not difficult - even if one just asks at a cafe or taverna that one is using for a 10lt can fill the answer is usually 'Yes'

For grey waste there are lots of mounds of rubble/rubbish where we have no compunction to tip a few bucketfuls.

Black waste is more difficult but there are garages with outdoor toilets where one can ask if one is about to fill with diesel. We have also been steered to sewage manholes which can be lifted.

If touring in Greece I would recommend carrying a spare cassette.

I know Tam has his own solution to depositing black waste but I am not going to refer to it.

This bad boy ran aground in Redcar where i used to live , it was massive , thankfully was refloated !

Don't let that one out of the bag!

Pics of the day then I'm switching my phone of as I'm running low on data .

We're in pounta, overlooking elefonisis. We arrived here yesterday around 5pm .

Had a lazy day today ,never got out of bed till 10.30, thought about mum a lot today ...its not been a great year, I've never been a big fan of new year celebrations, for some reason I've always found it quite a sad time of year and not a happy one ,it's also a time I feel quite lonely and when a lot of regrets come knocking, I'm also not a party animal so I prefer to hide away from it if I'm honest. Although I'm looking forward to a new year , hopefully a happier year. And who knows maybe it will be different. Not sure if I'm going to stay put tomorrow or not I've not decided yet. I was invited to join the Belgians again but 1) theyre on the next finger south of nafplion at the old abandoned hotel and there's a lot I want to visit between here and there and 2) for the reasons I gave above. ...I'm probably the last thing a group of youngsters need around when all they want to do is get drunk. So I'll either stay here or I'll drive up to monemvasia. I'll decide tomorrow. Anyway here's the pics of today... nowt exciting just sand sea and sunsets .
