Termopili therms

A bit shattered from sleeping on the bar sofa during the night but hey at least it wasn't the floor. Our ferry journey went well,the sea was calm.We arrived at Athens at 6.30 am and drove 200 km to our next destination. And it was so worth it!!! Look at yourself!!
We're at Termopili where Spartan king Leonida  and his 300 soldiers defended the pass for 3 days to than being killed by the enemy, only because they were betrayed. As much as we love the history we're not here for that, we're here for thermal baths!🙂
And what a thermal baths!!! They free of charge, water temperature is 40°C and flows trough countless natural pools! Cannot recommend it enough. Now a little nap and another bath in the evening under the stars!!!

The town has everything you need with restaurants, supermarkets and bars.And obviously is very lively so if you want to have fun you go to the city and if you want to have peace you can find a quiet beach with few people at this time of the year  .The rest are all the ...

Discovering The Island

Image
Last 3 weeks has flyed by. Time goes quickly when you're in a good company 🙂. We had enough time to discover stories between the island, meet new friends and get bored with the same places🤣. Being on the island limits moving around, especially in camper because there aren't a lot of roads suitable for camper but we discovered them by bike. Many people that come to San Pietro for at least 20 years do notice that since the TV series L' Isola di Pietro the place boomed with tourism and not in the good way.  ( the house that was the main set of the series) The special atmosphere has gone. For me it was the first time and I loved it, but don't think I would like to be here in August when the amount of people exceeds the island capacities. There are some sad stories of abandoned places and vandalism by local youth which is quite difficult to understand.On the photo you can see this huge hotel complex that was never completed and now is abandoned and vandalized. ...
