Getting to Greece and home (30 images)

Air travel across the USA and flyover country, over the pond to Europe and then to Athens, Greece.

From California, it took three flights via four airports over two days to just get to Athens. A Fourth flight from Athens to Santorini got me to my destination for this journey.

The trip took me to five separate Cyclades Islands. To travel between the islands was by ferry boat. The boats were from small and a single car deck to massive, with multiple car decks, cabins, and reserved seating for first class. The best and more fun were those that served the little islands.

Altogether, I rode six separate ferries from Santorini to the different islands and finally back to Piraeus, Athens' port.

After disembarking, I rode the train to the motel near the Parathion, then via taxi to the airport, three planes and three airports to get home, then via Toyota back to Jackson.

All told, I visited seven different airports, traveled by car, taxi, moto, ferry, train, escalator, regional jet, long-haul jet, domestic jet, foot, but not by donkey!
