The travel journal

Good journeys start here.

Eight original guides for the decisions that shape a road trip: where to pause, how to prepare and what comes after the mainland.

The route guide

The complete route and ten worthwhile stops.

Town guide

A local guide to food planning, history, rest and accommodation.

Travel practicalities

Prepare the things that reduce friction on the road, then leave enough room in the day for people to be people.

Border planning

Prepare for an international border without pretending its waiting time can be predicted.

Places to rest

A useful stopover is less about saving minutes and more about arriving with enough energy to enjoy the next day.

Onward journeys

Stay on the mainland and exchange the long-distance corridor for a coastal holiday east of Thessaloniki.

Culture & landscape

Combine an ancient city with a dramatic stretch of the Vardar corridor—without turning a rest day into a race.

Island planning

Start with the transfer, then choose the island. The best match is the one whose whole journey works for you.
