Ammoudia
We land at Ammoudia beach. We stop beautifully under the trees. Camping is prohibited there. We stick to it and don't put tables in front of the door, don't grill and the awning stays in.
The police come, or rather drive by, and say nothing. So probably everything is fine. The friendly shop assistant of the small grocery store right on the street next to the tavern tells us that a lot has been checked and sent away this summer.
We were there with about 5 - 6 campers at the same time. Maybe we were lucky, maybe it was because nobody showed the typical camping behavior. I dont know. In any case, we stood super under trees.
We didn't even try the satellite dish. There is no reception there under the trees anyway.
Waste disposal and supply does not exist. But neither does it cost. Such a great place in a prime location without a fee. You cant complain.
We are easily equipped with 120 liters of fresh water and two toilet cassettes for 6 - 7 days.
A tip that most of you probably already know and that we have been using for ages: do not throw toilet paper in the cassette. Firstly, the paper only swells up unnecessarily and uses up capacity, and secondly, it tends to stick together and cleaning the cassette is more difficult.
We're staying a few days.

Acheron Canyon 09/14/22.
Uih is cold, but a big thing.
First at the Acheron along the direction of the source and then further into the river and between the rock faces in the river. Sometimes the water goes up to my wife's chest. Usually only up to the knees. The Acheron is cold, but you get used to it and the view of the steep rocks rising to the right and left is just awesome.
In many places the river is fed by water inflows from mountain cracks or small holes in the rock. This is really worth seeing. Water shoes are a requirement if walking through the river shouldn't be a pain.

Meteora Klöster
We took the first public transport bus to the monasteries. According to the timetable, it should run at 9:00 a.m. for a moderate 1.60 euros per person. He actually left at 9:15 a.m., which was OK.
At the end point we got out and then visited a monastery for a moderate 3 euros. We would have had to walk down the narrow road to another monastery, which seemed too strenuous due to the narrowness, the heavy traffic and 33 degrees in the shade.
So we left it at the visit of one, albeit the largest well-preserved monastery. That was OK too.
However, we have a 100 `Honda scooter with us. Because we wouldn't have gotten it out of the Womo on the small plot of the campsite. To do this, it would have been necessary to drive the Womo onto the square and get the scooter out.
I was a little too lazy, but my lover and I both agreed that we'll definitely do it this way on the next similar occasions. We are then much more flexible. So today we would definitely have driven around the mountain on a scooter and would have visited another monastery.
It's also really worth seeing. But two would have been enough. Maybe someday we'll pass Meteora again. Then it is definitely up to the monasteries with the scooter.

Camping Venezuela, Agios Serafim, Griechenland
Saturday the 17th and we're going to the east coast. We need the beach by the sea again.
The site is accessible via gravel and paved roads by the sea, far away from the through road. A bit tricky to drive through the huge olive tree plantations in a large camper van. From time to time some branches grind long on the Womo, but it works. You can't be overly sensitive.
The campsite is on the beach but separated from it by a road. You cannot see the sea from the pitches.
We are received extremely friendly. The middle-aged woman makes a copy of an ID card and immediately shows us the place and explains all the facilities on it. Perfect. We take a nice place and arrived -immediately-. It is 100 meters from our place to the beach. A round thing.
So we enjoy the sun and lie in it for a few more hours. Campsite loungers and fixed parasols are available.
To our surprise, there is always live music on Saturday evenings in the tavern on site. A male duo entertains the guests of the tavern with Greek folk music. In addition, not only campers are present, but it seems that residents of the area also like to attend this event. We had already eaten in the mobile home, so we enjoy the cozy atmosphere with one or two cold drinks.

Camping Apollon, Apollonos, Delphi, Griechenland
Friendly welcome. On Saturday a group of English campers who have booked should come. So we can't be in the front row. We stand above the beautiful, clean pool and still have a very good view of the valley. Not to the sea, but still very nice.
The best thing about the campsite is the tavern!!!
A view like a postcard motif. Insanity. We had actually planned to cook for ourselves, but when we registered and went to the restaurant to have our passport copied: Unbelievable. I immediately reserved a table, of course the best one in the middle (see picture). What a view. You look into a wide valley and at the end you can see the sea. I'm really excited, still.
The food was good, reasonably priced for the view, but not overly expensive, the service was friendly, and the beer was served with ice-cold glasses. Everything in the green.
But the view... madness!!! (Even if I repeat myself).
Should we drive towards Delphi again, we will use this place again (and eat in the tavern).

Das Orakel von Delphi
We learnt.
We unpacked the scooter and now we go to the famous places with the scooter.
Great, impressive what was started to build in 800 BC. What tons of precisely hewn stones. Incredible proportions. A 5000-seat amphibian theater. A sports facility 178 meters long built at the top of the mountains. And much more.
Really impressive. I had looked in advance for a German tour, but found nothing. So we walked through the site using the English-language signs. But a German-language tour would have been better.
But it's very impressive.

Paleros, Griechenland
Thursday 09/22/2022
After about half the distance back to the west coast we reach the village of Paleros.
There are already a few other mobile homes here on the stone beach.
Camping is forbidden, but the wooden access barrier is broken in several places. We're looking for a nice job. The friendly Dutch camper next to us says that the police don't come here.
Now we are standing here in absolute peace in nature, awning out, table and chairs in front of it. We bought fresh fish from the local fishmonger, which we later put on the grill.
Cool. First a cappuccino and a few cookies.
We stayed until Tuesday as we get along fine with the gray water tank and faecal cassettes and get fresh water here at the tavern. We can then empty it in Italy at a motorway rest area with Womo supply and disposal.
On Tuesday, September 27th, 2022, on the ferry day, we continue to Igoumenitsa around noon and the ferry is scheduled to depart towards Ancona at 11:59 p.m.

So are in port. The ferry for the return journey to Ancona Italy is scheduled to depart at 11:59 p.m. Bit late, but we still had something from the day here. However, it only leaves at 1:00 a.m.
Filled up with fuel and sun again. From the ferry in Ancona we want to stop in Lazise (our favorite place) on Lake Garda in a short slide on the way back.

Unexpectedly, the pitch was 100 percent full at this time of year. We didn't arrive until 10pm so slept on the edge the first night on the road leading to the square.
Alarm clock set for 07:30, teeth brushed and the 20 meters to the reception and whatever. 5' he place. That means about 2-4 hours of waiting in the hope that 5 campers will leave the site. Since we only wanted to stay one more night in Lazise, we decided to use the very large parking lot, which is slightly elevated not far from the parking space.
However, the operator now knows what a gold mine he owns. 20 euros without supply / disposal for one night is a lot. I got the feeling he smiled a little at his Ferrari (different color and a bit bigger than the spring one) behind the wooden booth when I paid.
Well ok for one night. And we definitely wanted to spend another day in beautiful Lazise.
But there is one of the best equipped camping shops in Italy. In the small shop with friendly operators you will find everything your heart desires and whatever accessories / spare parts / household or electrical items you need or just want.

Zell an der Mosel, Deutschland
Today we started early towards home. It is actually planned to drive to the Moselle, but according to the navigation system it is 809 kilometers to the small town of Küsserath.
13 hours later, after unfortunately having to wait for a few smaller traffic jams and a total closure behind Baden Baden, we reached the Moselle.
However, we did not end up in Klüsserath but in Zell an der Mosel. A nice pitch. It should be well worth 9 euros a night. Disposal is behind the square and is possible free of charge and one euro is required for water. I don't know how many liters it was, but I needed 2 euros for my 120 liter tank, which was not completely empty.

Duisburg - Bissingheim, Dorfplatz
Well back home. It was a very nice vacation.
My neighbor asked me what was the highlight of our tour. I can only answer the question with one word: EVERYTHING!
It was a wonderful journey with so many beautiful things. Each a highlight in itself. One thing is certain, Greece will see us again.
Finally, it should be said that the overview above shows 5324 kilometers as the total distance. But 1690 have to be deducted from that, since we took the ferry back and forth from Ancona. So there are 3624 kilometers left.
