#BacktotheRoutes is a personal journey, or better, a collection of

childhood journeys that we started with our parents, who taught
us to love and appreciate simple things in life and that we later
continued ourselves.

This is Limeni, a stone-built seaside village where crystal-clear waters meet one of the most beautiful harbors in the Peloponnese.

Tip: Stop at Takis Limeni, a family-run fish taverna serving the sea on a plate since 1986. Expect the freshest seafood, honest Maniot flavors, and the kind of warm hospitality that makes you feel less like a customer and more like a returning friend.

At Ntounias, in the mountain village of Drakona, everything begins with the land. Vegetables come from the garden, meat from nearby farms and every dish is cooked over a wood fire, just as it has been in Crete for generations.

As you arrive, you'll smell the pots slowly simmering over open flames before you even reach the table.

Tip: Come hungry, ask what's cooking that day, and trust the season. At Ntounias, the meal is shaped by nature, tradition, and whatever the land has generously provided.

Welcome to Gavros Village, a quiet mountain village where stone houses, peaceful streets, and panoramic views offer a slower, more authentic side of the Meteora region.

Tip: Visit Gavros before or after Meteora and take time to wander its narrow alleys. Sometimes, the places you remember most are the ones that weren't on your itinerary.

Just a short drive from Kalamata, Kitries is a tiny seaside village where colorful fishing boats, crystal-clear waters, and waterfront tavernas set the pace of the day. Once an important fishing port, today it remains one of Mani’s best-kept secrets.

  Tip: Arrive around lunchtime, take a swim before you eat, and settle into one of the tavernas by the harbor. Fresh fish, sea views, and an afternoon that unfolds exactly as it should.

At the southernmost edge of Europe, feels wonderfully disconnected from the rest of the world. Untouched beaches, cedar forests, quiet tavernas, and a coastline best explored by boat make this tiny island unlike anywhere else in Greece.

The beach in this reel? We'll let it stay a mystery. 🤫

Built into the mountainside, invites you to wander through centuries-old churches, hidden pathways, and the ruins of a once-flourishing city. The higher you climb, the wider the views become and reaching the fortress at the top is well worth the effort.

Tip: After exploring Mystras, stop at Castletown Mystras for a slow meal in a peaceful setting. Local flavors, warm hospitality, and the perfect place to unwind after a morning spent walking through Byzantine history.

In the heart of Amfissa, Palio Potopoieio has transformed a historic distillery into a warm gathering place where local flavors, regional wines, and Greek hospitality come together. It’s the perfect stop to slow down and experience a side of Central Greece that many travelers simply pass by.

Tip: Pair your meal with a glass of local wine and take your time. Just a short drive from Delphi, it’s the kind of place that reminds you the best stories often begin after you’ve left the landmark behind.

If you’re looking for the Greek summer of your dreams, chances are it looks a lot like .

Less developed than its neighboring peninsula, Sithonia rewards those who love to explore.

Tip: Don’t settle for just one beach. From Kavourotrypes and Kalogria to Klimataria, Tristinika, and countless unnamed coves in between, Sithonia is best discovered at your own pace.

is one of those places that invites you to wander without a plan.

Every corner reveals another story, another hidden courtyard, another reason to slow down.

Tip: Book a table at Matoula Restaurant, tucked inside the castle town. Order traditional Laconian dishes, enjoy a glass of local Malvasia wine, and let the medieval surroundings do the rest. Some dinners become memories long before dessert arrives.

Hidden at the foot of the Agrafa Mountains, feels like it belongs in a storybook.

Stone-built cottages, forests, streams, and even free-roaming deer create a setting where nature takes the lead. It's the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the simple pleasures of mountain life.

Tip: Stop for a long lunch at Keramario's traditional restaurant. Homemade pies, local meats, and authentic Thessalian recipes are best enjoyed with nothing but birdsong and the sound of the nearby river.
