GR flag Greece ME flag Montenegro AL flag Albania

Anyone want to join me on a road trip (rental car and/or bus) through Crete from around July 7-20 (exact dates are still somewhat flexible). Or a week exploring the Peloponnesian peninsula from a home base in Nafplion June 20-27? Or a road trip (definitely in a rental car I’ve already booked) through Albania and Montenegro from late July to early September? More details below. Your age, gender, nationality don’t matter to me. I’m an equal opportunity travel partner. You can get a sense of what I’m like to travel with by scrolling through my FB posts prior to last March (pre-COVID). I had been traveling almost full time from August 2018 until The Plague so rudely interrupted my worldwide wanderings. If this link doesn’t work, I’m the only Steve Brodsky from Treasure Island, Florida on FB. https://www.facebook.com/steve.brodsky.14 I’m doing a 14 week trip through Greece and the Balkans from June 9 to September 15. I’ve got travel buddies for parts of the trip but so far no one for the week of July 20-27 in Nafplion (with multiple day trips around the peninsula) or the two weeks or so I plan to be touring Crete from July 7 through...to be determined. For the Albania, Montenegro (and possibly other Balkan lands) road trip I’ll be traveling with a friend from August 7-16 (give or take a day), but as of today I have an open passenger seat for the other weeks between late July and early to mid September. You wouldn’t have to pay for the car, just split the cost of gas with me. I’m tentatively planning to start this part of the trip in Albania sometime between July 20-July 27 until my friend arrives August 7. After he has a few days to experience Tirana we’ll drive to Kotor, Montenegro August 11. I plan to spend two or three weeks in Montenegro after my friend leaves on August 16 before driving back to Albania and eventually flying back to Athens in early to mid September. I’m open to the possibility of expanding this road trip into North Macedonia, Bosnia or Serbia. I’m also open to visiting Greek islands other than Crete from mid to late July but I want to catch a flight to Tirana no later than July 27. For lodging I’d prefer either two bedroom places or one separate bedroom with a bed or sleeper sofa in the main living area. And a kitchen/kitchenette anyplace we’d stay longer than one night. I usually book Airbnb apartments/houses for stays of a few nights or more. I’ve already booked a place for the week in Nafplion with one BR and what appears to be a comfortable bed in the main room.
