Final hiking tour
On one of our last days in Paleochora, we did a nice day hiking tour through the hills around the area. Enjoying the early spring, breathing the still fresh air, and saying good-bye to the mystic places all around.

Unfortunately, we figured that we would need much better light to fully explore the cave. With some of the weak light we were…
For the past two weeks, including the Christmas holidays and new year’s Eve, we had rented a little house at Triopetra at the south coast. After a week or so we started to miss the vanlife – despite the hot showers, fully equipped kitchen and reasonably sized bed which the house featured.

Nice hiking trails all around, and two local beaches – one on every…
