What a blast this trip was! Admittedly, Danny and I were a bit apprehensive about travelling to Greece, we’d read so many amazing reviews and seen so many amazing photographs, but it wasn’t right up there on the list of places for us to travel. In the end we were both pleasantly surprised and at some points even blown away by the breath-taking views discovered, adventures explored and the humble, colourful culture Greece cultivates.

We stayed in a beautiful little hotel in Tsilivi, not the most luxurious and expensive place to stay, but that’s not what we were looking for; We were seeking a location that was best for travel, and that’s exactly what Tsilivi provided! From Zakynthos, to Kefalonia, to Navagio, we had our route all mapped and planned out for our little adventure riding through the hillsides and city streets on the back of our scooter ped.

Our days consisted of sunkissed afternoons turtle spotting in Kefalonia, sailing over to shipwrecked islands with pure white sand in Navagio, jumping off the side of boats into the crystal clear ocean, experimenting with new flavours and foods at traditional Greek restaurants, stopping and taking in picturesque views whilst cruising on our motorped, discovering clay baths amongst the stones and rocks of secluded beaches, rowing boats through and under ancient and magical caves, and most importantly, creating those special moments together that will last a life time. Because what is travel without the memories and life experience you will forever carry afterwards?

As the saying goes; “Though we travel the world to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
