The day started by revisiting some of the sights we had already seen last week. This time however, we had a local guide Sandra who was full of extra information. We visited the Olympic Stadium, Temple of Zeus where we had a group photo taken, Acropolis and Acropolis Museumj.After a light lunch, we headed off for Nafplion. First stop was at the Corinth Canal which is a very narrow and deep cutting through the Peloponnese Peninsula built in the 1800s. Then we...

We are very sad to be leaving Villa Renos. Our hosts Petros, Zina and Vassilis made us feel so welcome and gave us an emotional farewell. Vassilis arranged a taxi to transport us to the airport. It was chaotic at the airport and took ages to check in. Thankfully our flight was delayed as we may not have made it otherwise. Eventually we boarded Aegean Flight 355 (Airbus A321-200 rego SX-DVO) for the short flight back to Athens. Gail and I had to sit separate...

Today we had a room upgrade (not sure why). We were a bit worried as we loved the first room, but this one is magnificent, much larger, with a spa and easier access to the pool.

After a dip in the pool, I slipped out and brought back some takeaway sandwiches and frozen Greek yoghurts which we enjoyed on the balcony. Today's cruise ship is a beautiful one, Seabourn Odys...

The beach is of black gravelly sand and is covered in sun beds and thatch umbrellas which are for hire. There are also many cafes lining the edge of the beach and ev...

The day started with breakfast provided by our hosts in the dining room. Villa Renos breakfasts are famous on Trip-advisor and we weren't disappointed. Petros brought out several courses, many of which contained produce from his own farm and everything was delicious.We then took a walk down below the hotel and found the upper donkey station and some other new paths. Later we took the cable car down to the Old Port and were surprised at how pleasant it was ...
