Travel Talk Sat August 8: Greece (beyond Athens) - online, everyone welcome

FUTURE ONLINE MEETINGS: 2nd Saturdays, except as noted

To be announced

I will be there! And just back from northern Greece .

Hello

Your invite says that it is going to be on Saturday August 8th. Assume that is not correct. What is the real date?

Falls again on a Saturday I work. I really need to retire.

I haven't been to Greece, but hope to make it there eventually (so many places to see, so little time to travel). I have no idea what I might be doing on in August yet, but for now please put me down as a YES. Thank you!

2025 date corrected to 2026, thanks CL for the catch on my copy and paste error from a 2025 meeting!

indeed the second Saturday is the 8th of August.

why is the date incorrect, bostonphil7?

I'll be home from my US visit and well over jetlag by then. I look forward to reminiscing about some lovely places. I've taken the RS tour and been to Crete and Naxos.

Chani, I'll look forward to hearing about your RS Best of Greece tour.

My tour in 2025 was with OAT and included Athens, Crete, Thessaloniki and Northern Greece, with very little overlap with the Rick Steves tour. So that's still been on my list of possibilities.

Andrea, drat again. We've got to fix this!

If this is February 14, 2026, I'd like to attend.

Hi MariaF, this is actually in August. I've published the next few of our second Saturday meetings aligned with various people's travels so that we can hear their trip reports, ask questions and chat about their destinations.

Darn! I’m very interested in Greece but I seem to have a conflict every time Greece is the topic. I’ll be on the last day of my family trip to Cape Cod, so it’s unlikely I will be able to join.

hi Nigel

When I first read the notification, I believe it said August 8 2025 which has since been corrected to 2026.

However, we are in February and I just assumed that the Travel Talk was taking place sometimes in February.

Thanks for the correction. I will update the calendar, I will admit my mind doesn't compute future summer dates yet, but getting there.

I would like to join although I must admit August is not in my mind either.

I am spending 16 days in the Peloponese in May followed by a visit to Thessaloniki.

I have no idea if I'll be free that day, but the topic is of interest, so for now I'm a yes please. Thank you!

I'm interested since I plan to go to Greece.

Please include me just in case it’s raining on Cape Cod!
