Greece and Turkey Adventure 2015

Temple of Poseidon, Cape Sounion, Attica, Greece

Kalispera! (that's "good evening" in Greek)

We have been quiet for a while, but we are back from our absolutely awesome trip to Greece and Turkey!  We began with 5 nights at the stately Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens, Greece, followed by a 7 night cruise through the Greek islands aboard the gracious Emerald Princess, capped off with 4 nights at the warm and welcoming Neorion Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey.

Get ready for many new posts over the coming weeks highlighting great archeological sights and museums worth a definite visit, restaurants aimed more at locals than tourists, a little history, an overview of all the Greek and Turkish words we learned, and dozens and dozens of photos!
