Odyssean Slipstream

Askeli Bay, Poros Island

Askeli Bay, Poros Island

About

For 11 years, I've been roaming off and on around Greece, mostly the islands, exploring ancient sites, secret villages and Greek mythology. At some point it occurred to me that I was often at the edge of that ancient mariner Odysseus' wanderings - drawn into the convoluted slipstream of his travels - perhaps also seeking my own Ithaca.

These are random jottings from my many anchorings in Greece - as well as some contributions from re-blogs.

...."do not hurry the journey at all, better if it lasts many years ... be quite old when you anchor at the island, rich with all you have gained along the way ... " - Ithaca -Constantine Cavafy

"One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."
– Henry Miller
