Definitive Travels

We have continued our journey to Kos, Greece. It's an island closer to the coast of Turkiye in the eastern Mediterranean. Hippocrates was born on the island and there is an Asklepion where he started a very well known healing center. He was ahead of his time as he believed and taught that instead of treating the symptoms of a person he looked at the whole body and mind when treating illnesses. There are woods surrounding the ruins and it is said that people went into the woods to convene with the trees to get well. The cypress trees around the area help the spirit to reach heaven.

Our journey took us to Antalya and Izmir, Turkiye where we were going to connect with a friend of ours who was our guide last year. Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet up with her. However, we were able to connect with our taxi driver in Istanbul and have dinner with him and his wife. There are cats and dogs everywhere throughout the city and they are well taken care of. This is our 3rd time in Istanbul and we love the city!

Tomorrow it is on to Mykonos and the island of Delos where it is said the good Apollo was born. That's our last stop then back to Athens!

I have finally taken the step to strike out on my own and form my own travel agency. I am a part of a host agency - Incentive Connection Travel. This allows me to pass on great deals and special offers that only large travel agencies have access to. My focus is on sustainable cruising and land travels for all ages but I want to share my experiences and knowledge especially for the "retirement" community who has not done much travelling. I encourage everyone to at least take one trip out of the country during their lifetime and experience the culture and history of a world different than we are used to.

If you have thought about travelling to somewhere you have dreamed about please contact me and we can delve into creating an incredible experience for you. I do not charge for consultation and research. My goal is to help you create your trip of a lifetime and to make it a seamless experience no matter how you like to travel. You can contact me through this page, by email or phone.
