Greece

It is difficult juggling the role of a tour guide with the ever-expanding needs of a family. And a family holiday? That’s another story entirely!

Uncompromising, with a strong personality and a unique ability to combine the classic with the contemporary, Athens is not a temptation you can get over simply by succumbing to its charm

It is said that the journey begins the moment you start preparing for it

It’s no secret…. Greece is undoubtedly a destination for all seasons, all ready to reveal its beauty and grace no matter what time of the year you choose to explore it in

You close your eyes and Greece’s ancient history starts a bacchanalian dance around you

I’ve always said that if I had a magic lantern- you know, one of those you give a quick rub and a genie pops out ready to be your slave and grant you three wishes

Autumn in Greece is incomparable; no doubt about that

A 4-day road trip heading south from Athens down the length of one of the Peloponnese peninsulas and back up to the capital again

That’s it. Enough! All that writing about Greece was too much for us so we downed tools and headed off for a holiday of our own

Athens! Perhaps the most photogenic metropolis in Europe
