what is most /lit/ way to travel Greece? Your favourite /lit/ places in Greece? What is most /lit/ way to travel in general? I have 3 weeks of vacation to use this year, i think about going to Greece at the end of september or beginning of october. It should still be warm, maybe not enough for swimming but ideal for some /lit/-related sightseeing

Athens and Istanbul
The rest is a cultural backwater

Wake early, big breaths upon wrought iron balcony, smoke a cigarette, draw the smoke in deep, skip breakfast, pack a bag (water, book, journal, smokes, earphones), walk around town the whole day, listen to music, listen to locals, go to bar, get tipsy, have several conversations, get drunk, get sad, walk home, write for an hour.

Sailboat. In your heart you know I am right. Learn how to sail and spend three weeks sailing around the greek archipelago. doing that is unironically my dream.

Over the years i've read a lot of travel /lit/ about Italy, from Goethe to Stendhal. Sadly i couldn't find much literature of the sort about Greece, except for Byron

In Delphi right now. Started out in Nafplio where I saw Mycenae, then Athens to do all the major things plus a day trip to Eleusis, will be back in Athens for 3 days to do a day trip to Aegina and see the temple there. Overall I think it's a good itinerary since Delos and Knossos are the only two major ancient sites I'm not hitting. Not sure this thread is /lit/ thoever

Definitely. The ruins aren't nearly as well preserved as what's in Athens but the museum has a lot of really beautiful statues, friezes, and other art from the site. But the valley and scenery around the area are absolutely breathtaking and can make you understand why the ancients chose this place as their central religious site. The town itself is surprisingly charming too. The bus ride is only 2 1/2 hours from Athens.
