I could go early May, I dont like it too hot no air conditioning. We dont mind being adventurous, it cant all be beaches though, cause although I would love it, him indoor wont.
I have looked at your virtual tourist blog, many thanks

Thanks Don, If I was booking for next year how soon can you book, who would you recommend.
Would it be easy enough to tow a motorcycle on a trailer, if so does it make it more expensive on the crossing, and are the roads of a reasonable quality for motorcycling.
Many thank Pat

Dallan , Rapide route is similar to the one i take, i sometimes divert to the Hymer factory at Bad Walsee then around Lake Constance and then south to Milan, another way is to go from Hymers to Fussen ,south to Nauders, Landek then Bolzano then motorway to Ancona, this avoids Austrian and Swiss tolls. I am currently in Vassiliki on Lefkas temperature today 38c

Hi Pat,
I would suggest

for the sailing. It will cost more if you tow a trailer and if the camper deck is full you might have to leave the trailer on the lower deck. I would check with Viamare to see when they will take bookings for next year.
Greek roads are not too bad but the standard of driving is very poor so you will have to be very careful on the bike.
If you are not a beach person I would suggest the "Lonely Planet Greece" for sites to visit.

Hi,
There's nothing to stop you doing that except you will have to buy third party insurance cover for the van at the Albanian border.
If you don't want to use the ferry you can get to Greece via Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria without leaving the EU.
Two of our friends went through Albania in 2006 and we plan to return home that way in 2009 after wintering in Turkey and touring Crete.

I am a beach person, but hubby not so much, as long as we can ride a motorbike, and see some culture that will do, I dont think Neil will like to detach the trailer, as it has a very heavy bike on it, but pivots a lot in the middle, its not braked, I will ask the ferry booker about that.
It ill be interesting to see how you get on driving through Albania, I think they are really bad drivers, we only went as far as montegro
kind regards

Hi Pat,
What the ferry booker tells you and what can happen at the port can be entirely different. I've know caravanners that have had to leave their cars on the lower deck when the camper deck is busy. So be prepared.
