Greece

The small dark corners, the little-deserted cafes - sometimes they hide the greatest of treasures. There is such a place deep in the heart of Piraeus, Athens port town. A place for locals, but incredibly welcoming of visitors.

Thessaloniki offers travellers a bit of sun even in winter, delicious food even in midnight, nightlife even during the weekdays and wonderful sunsets!!

Although only a very small number of people infected with the histoplasmosis fungus develop OHS, if you have been exposed, you should be sensitive to any changes in your eyesight. Apparently, I had become one of that small number of people.

When in Greece, do what the Greeks do (or the Italians, Germans, Aussies etc). A little bit of advice if I may, maybe not. Here is a little story about the time my partner and I thought it would be a great idea to hire a motorcycle in Mykonos. This would be one of the many adventures we would embark upon, and one of many stories we would share over a drink or two or maybe three.

There is a place in Kos island where you can experience the hot water from the spring of the mountain exactly next to the cold water of the sea.
