welcome to moto.gr

since my family is from the village pirgos dirou which is the village where diros caves are. im thinking since your project has to do with the mythology of hades and the underworld you should visit the caves as there it was suposed to be the entrance.

Thanks again for all the warm welcoming guys, it's appreciated

Hopefully and particularly since you plan your way back trip thgough Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia,

any backwheel handling considerations, especially in summer months, look like preparatory course for what you are going to be facing afterwards........

I've heard a thing or two about the roads there yeah.. proceed with caution seems the name of the day

Sorry I must've missed them by mistake quite some interesting places I didn't know about, so those are more than welcome

These past two weeks I was on the search for some extra information regarding Greece, but what followed exceeded my wildest expectations - I have been truly overwhelmed by Greek people not only supplying me with new sights to see, but also willing to lend a hand, spreading the word as they do so. This true testament to the Greek hospitable nature has quite left me speechless, and leaves me wondering what awaits me when I arrive there.

Now even though it will still take months for the journey to start I thought a sneak-preview was in good order, so here's a glimpse of the helmet I am to wear. It bears an appropriate quote from one of my favorite books, Petrarch's Canzoniere.

I salute you. Glad you're here.

Beware of raki, tsipouro, ouzo and all these transparent liquids, and you'll be fine

My first encounter with ouzo was of such a nature that I swore never to drink any spirits again... so I guess I've already learned it the hard way

We have done that also, many many times...

That meeting in Athens has got to happen I reckon... I was planning to stay there for a two nights, to get a good look of the city and shake some hands while I'm at it

Maastricht is quite a long way by the way, but if the weather's nice, who knows
