Wow, so many places!!! Lovely! 🙂 It is not completely decided where we are going, but we are planning for some kind of round trip in October, so I hope we can see several places. Possibly some shorter trip during the summer as well ... We will do some planning, so far the plans are a bit fuzzy, but Greece will be it!!!! 🙂 Which places are your favourites?

What fun to return to Greece. We have been boating here several summers and then for at least a month each time and had a lot of time. And we have visited many of the places you have included. We never really had a fixed route but booked as we went along. Some islands we stayed longer and some shorter. Some islands became more favourites than others.
It's fun to travel there for you and the best thing is to see where the desire to travel is.
We also recommend renting a sailboat and travelling around on your own. Absolutely fantastic. But that's assuming you like sailing.

Glad you travelled around and planned everything as you went! Sailing boat sounds amazing, but we wouldn't be able to do it alone though. We will plan, will see how it turns out and where we go! But to Greece we will! 🙂

What fun that you will go to Greece💙🇬🇷 will you take the motorhome or will it be a flight and rental car? We will go in August / September, depends a bit on how the summer turns out.... but we will definitely be there until October! We have our favourites, Volos and the Pelion Peninsula, Napflion, Gythio, the entire Mani with Aeropoli, Finikounda, Methoni, but Lefkas is also close to our hearts, so it will probably be a Peloponnese tour😃 looking forward to hearing where you are going!

Yes, very funny!!! I think it will be flights and car hire, but nothing is set in stone yet. Thanks for all the tips!!! We hear from you in the future, if we would be there at the same time, it would be super fun to see you!!!

Lovely Greece! 🇬🇷🚍🌸☀️🇬🇷
Going with the motorhome down to Lefkas for the 17th time!!!!
Do not take the land route now but the boat from Ancona (Italy) to Igouminitsa.
on the Greek mainland. Camping on board is perfect, do not have to go down in any cabin but can be in our own motorhome but with access to the entire boat including showers and toilets! 😃👍🏼 When we come ashore, we have about 14 miles left to drive. Bridge over to Lefkas, through the city, towards Nydri and then small Poros beach ......Longing!!! 💖☀️
