Before coming to Italy, I didn't realize how indulgent I could be. During my week-long stay, my daily meals looked roughly like this:
Breakfast - Dishes prepared by the bed and breakfast.
Lunch - Gelato.
Afternoon Tea - Gelato and Coffee.
Dinner - Gelato.
On my first day in Rome, I lost 3€ at an automated ticket machine at the station. In a state of frustration, I decided to walk to the Colosseum. As I walked, it was incredible to see buildings from ancient Roman times still standing and passing by me. I felt incredibly fortunate!
Today is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. What does this have to do with me, someone without any religious beliefs?
In Venice, as long as you remember the general location of your hotel and the train station, you can discard the map. Frankly, it doesn't help much.
The originally planned overnight train journey to see the sunrise in Venice ended in failure.
It is about to leave Athens and start a solo trip to Italy. Before leaving, I spent a lot of time observing my surroundings. Here, besides people, cats are the beings I encounter most frequently.
A round trip of four hours, heading to a cape 70 kilometers away from Athens, to experience the grandeur of the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion up close.
I lost 40€ in Athens, and it was truly a "Greek" tragedy.
Visiting the Parthenon, which I had seen so many times in textbooks, was my main reason for coming to Greece!
In Greek mythology, among all the tales of the gods, I am particularly fascinated by the stories about Apollo. On this trip to Greece, I was determined to set foot in Aegina Island and fulfill my dream of visiting the Temple of Apollo.
