Never a dull moment! Etna had a little rumble on Tuesday! Our next destination, you’ve guessed it: Sicily! Fortunately we are 120 kms south of the spluttering giant. #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #Greece #Sicily #Italy #journeys why does Etna erupt? A short explanation: https://wp.me/p5eFNn-63m

Skopelos, Greece - a room with a view! Fantastic island just east of Skiathos. Sea views, Greek hospitality. Delightful.

Delphi - marvelling at this fabulous Sanctuary to Apollo which was a sacred place for all Greek city states - a place to pay homage and visit ‘The Oracle’ Archaeological excavations in the 1890s revealed numerous statutes, carvings, jewellery and friezes. Exceptional treasures. The Charioteer is my favourite - bronze state from 4th century BCE. Exceptional and influenced Mariano Fortuny #Delphi #Fortuny #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #journeys #Europe #Italy #Greece https://wp.me/p5eFNn-2rT
