The journey is slowly coming to an end. It was 3 intensive weeks full of experiences and insights. Almost always on the move, informing and exploring. Particularly impressive was the Peloponnese with its high mountains, deep blue sea, and numerous historical highlights such as Sparta, Corinth, or ancient Messene.
