The art of travel that goes with the flow
Wine
Barolo and BBQ
We are Barolovers. Seven bottles, the oldest from 2000
Ag And
We abbreviated the name of the beach at Agios Andreas to Ag And because saying it in full took too much energy. Agios Andreas is a small beachside town at the bottom of the hill from Logga. It has a tiny fishing harbour, with brightly coloured boats and the occasional...

Ancient Messene
We had decided on a short visit due to the heat, but we ended up taking our time, sitting on the ancient stones in the shade of the olive trees, and catching the breeze wherever we could find it. I was in a particularly good mood because at the gate they had accepted...
Solstice
We woke up early on the 21st to see the sun come up for the solstice. I got up around 5.30 am as the horizon was already turning interesting shades of orange, pink and purple. Sunrise was due to be at 6.13 am but because of the hills of the Mani, it took another 15...

Breton Krampoezh
Brittany is famous for its galettes and crêpes. You can eat them for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ouefs and Cochon Noir
Cochon Noir aux raisins We had a delicious meal at Le Terral in Soubès. The bar, as we call it, has had its ups and downs over the years, and Mme told us last night that she would be handing on the reins at the end of the month. Anyway, this may well turn out to be...
Red Mullet at The Rock
We had red mullet at Vraxos, a small beachside taverna at Kalamaki. The owner told us proudly that the fish had been freshly caught in the nearby sea, and we negotiated a price for the fish of €25 for the two of us. We ate it at sunset, looking over the languid sea at...
Oranges from the garden
Relaxing on the terrace lazing on a comfy sofa and the sun simmering over the garden. We cut up some oranges from the tree behind the beach house and put them in the freezer. Icy sweetness half an hour later.
