Although Doryssa Seaside Resort’s main building and its rooms may need tender loving care (such as my room 277) the buffet breakfast retains its lustre. My favourite this time were two large bowls, one filled with segments of orange the other with grapefruit. In season and absolutely stellar! There are local pastries both sweet andContinue reading “2026 GREEK TRAVEL ADVENTURE: Short Attention Span Version: 14September2026: Pythagorio, Samos: Difficulty Parking and the Motorcycle Accident”

2026 GREEK TRAVEL ADVENTURE : Short Attention Span Version
12September2026: Thessaloniki, Greece: Nothing better (not really) than a good sleep and a great breakfast Slept seven and a half hours and woke up a tad groggy. Jet lag causes physical fatigue but it also befuddles the mind making simple decisions a bit more complicated than they deserve to be. A pleasant morning brought cloudsContinue reading “2026 GREEK TRAVEL ADVENTURE : Short Attention Span Version”

“Travels to a Different Time”: 8September2022: Thessaloniki Greece: Where Have the Tattoos Gone?
Finally after 5 Greek sleeps I think I am adjusted to the time zone. Down for another buffet breakfast in a small restaurant feeding some 30 people instead of the hundreds at Doryssa Bay. Although I must say despite the number of items being much smaller here at Daios Luxury Living the breakfast food isContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time”: 8September2022: Thessaloniki Greece: Where Have the Tattoos Gone?”
“Travels to a Different Time ” : 7September2022: Samos the Last Day: Time to Kill
This is the last day in Samos. Another blue-sky day but on the balcony in our room overlooking the ocean the breeze was on the cool side and you certainly notice it on the beach. The top rated Doryssa breakfast at a table overlooking the ocean might constitute the gastronomic moment of the day. IContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time ” : 7September2022: Samos the Last Day: Time to Kill”
RKS Travel: RKS Hotel Reviews: Daios Luxury Living in Thessaloniki Greece
Thessaloniki is Greece’s second largest city behind Athens. Despite being an old fogey I certainly pick up a very youthful and hip vibe in Thessaloniki. And that has been constant in the last decade. The cafes and bars are packed and it is a love affair with the cocktail and coffee. I prefer Thessaloniki toContinue reading “RKS Travel: RKS Hotel Reviews: Daios Luxury Living in Thessaloniki Greece”
RKS Travel: The Evolution of the Greek Hotel Breakfast and the Devolution of the Author
I was 12 in 1971 when I escaped a cloistered suburban setting in Montreal with an adventurous mother on the Auntie Mame level. Riding scooters to the Acropolis of Lindos on Rhodes, taking a fishing boat to the next village chased by leaping dolphins, being invited to parties and weddings by Greek islanders and seeingContinue reading “RKS Travel: The Evolution of the Greek Hotel Breakfast and the Devolution of the Author”
