(written by Dave) Today was our first day being tourist in Selcuk. We decided to stay in town, saving the bigger site of Ephesus for tomorrow. Like many of our readers (I’m guessing), we’d never heard of Ephesus before this trip. The things we saw today in town are all interrelated with the history so … Continue reading Old stuff day number one in Selçuk

Please don’t shoot – Sigacik/Seferihisar to Selçuk (78/13,179ks)
(written by Nancy) We had a good sleep last night – it was very quiet at the hotel and there was very little traffic on the road outside. I think it is really a sleepy little town. Dave has included a picture of dinner from last night – we went to a restaurant recommended by … Continue reading Please don’t shoot – Sigacik/Seferihisar to Selçuk (78/13,179ks)
Great first day riding in Turkey – Cesme to Sigacik/Seferihisar (80/13,101 ks)
(written by Dave) We’ve had a great first day riding in Turkey. After another excellent brekkie at the hotel and a send off from Emre (the hotel owner and wonderful host), we hit the road about 9AM. We didn’t make it far before the first stop at the tourist information centre. We were looking for … Continue reading Great first day riding in Turkey – Cesme to Sigacik/Seferihisar (80/13,101 ks)
Untourist day in Cesme, Turkey
(written by Dave) Europe, including Turkey, changed their clocks overnight to day-light-savings. We had no idea that this was coming. We can’t read Greek or Turkish, so the recent newspapers would have been no use. Same for the news on TV. Technology saved the day as our iPhone, connected now to a Turkish network got … Continue reading Untourist day in Cesme, Turkey
Into Turkey!
(written by Nancy) Well, two ferries and a bit of wandering later and here we are, in Cesme Turkey! Our first ferry did not leave Piraeus until 9pm yesterday so we had the day to do a bit more sightseeing. We took the metro back into Athens and saw a few more sites, including the … Continue reading Into Turkey!
Last post from Schengen – maybe – from Athens
(written by Dave) We decided to work on chores today, and play tomorrow before we catch the ferry to Turkey at 9PM. This may be our last post from the Schengen region as I’m pretty sure we won’t be able to post tomorrow – next post from Turkey (wow, that’s wild!). Anyway, we decided today … Continue reading Last post from Schengen – maybe – from Athens
Athens and the Acropolis
(written by Dave) It is really hard to know what to write about today. We basically visited the Acropolis and a few nearby sites. All of these sites are very well documented on the internet so there is little that I can write that will add much to their story. I took lots of photos … Continue reading Athens and the Acropolis
Two seas, two ferries and Athens traffic – Korinthos to Pireas (80/13,016k)
(written by Dave) Today we crossed Isthmus of Corinth. For the last two and a half days we’ve been riding with the Gulf of Corinth on our left. This morning we reached the end of the waterway and crossed the isthmus to have the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea now on our right for … Continue reading Two seas, two ferries and Athens traffic – Korinthos to Pireas (80/13,016k)
Continuing along the coast road to Korinthos (65/12,936k)
(written by Nancy) So, regular readers will know by now that we are having trouble with our internet connection and have been unable to post in the last several days. All a bit of a farce – despite all of the time spent trying to get our original sim with Cosmote set up correctly it … Continue reading Continuing along the coast road to Korinthos (65/12,936k)
Along the coast road in Greece – Patras to Akrata (80/12,871k)
(written by Nancy) Everything always seems better after a good night’s sleep and we did get that last night. No alarm today as we didn’t have too long of a day planned, which was nice. We made oatmeal and coffee in the room for breakfast and took our time repacking. When we went to check … Continue reading Along the coast road in Greece – Patras to Akrata (80/12,871k)
