To me Greece is known by the local’s name, Ellada. It’s The Motherland, from which half of my family hail. A proud country that offers everything from delicious Mediterranean food, to divine hospitality and ancient monuments. It’s the one place in the world that acts like a magnet to my heart, and I’ve been lucky enough to visit bustling Athens and chilled out Galaxidi more times than I can remember over a nearly 40 year period.
For an autumn trip (I recommend a week) which offers a full spectrum of gastronomical delights, adventure and relaxation with a journey from Athens to the beautiful village of Galaxidi (around three hours away by coach) and back again. Temperatures are much more bearable but still balmy in the UK’s cooler months.
