Short trip to Greece (November 2003)

Autumn usually has bad effects on my mood. To change this, I just have to book a flight to a place where the sun shines and where there is a lot to see. The choice this time fell upon Thessaloniki, and nearby Vergina.

Exploring Ancient Greece (December 2001)

I am not fond of days like Christmas, and like to escape to a warmer place. This year's choice fell upon the Greece mainland. I started in Athens (visited the Acropolis of course), and then rented a car to explore the Peloponnesus. Finally, I ended my 10 days in sun and snow with Delphi. The theatre of Epidaurus and the fortified cities Tiryns and Mycenae were on my route, but it was medieval Mystras that I enjoyed most.
