I took a 2 week tour of italy, greece and turkey. i went to rome, naples, genazzano, capri, sorrento, pompeii, vatican city, and assi italy. got a ferry from bari, italy to patras, greece. from there took a bus to corinth, athens, greece. got a boat in piraeus, greece to go to mykonos, rhodes, patmos, and docked at izmir, turkey. hung out for a day in kusidasi and ephesus. then flew to istanbul, turkey.

After 1 1/2 day on the ferry we arrvied in greece. The sea was shakey, so we where 5 hour late. We have been very happy to get off the noisy ship, and now: no rain, no snow but sunshine :-)Not a lot of tourists to be seen here, to early in the year, no siason yet, I guess. We are staying somewhere between Patras and Kontrinth. Its early morning, we are having breakfast and are enjoying the peace. We are the only customers on this campsite.

One week trip to Greece with my school mates! Something I'll never forget.
