So my blog name means without logic.

It’s a colloquial Greek term that comes through the Byzantine era from an Armenian word that described the last week before the start of lent, during which Armenians would fast, something that Byzantines found weird and without logic and would cause mayhem since fast would start for them with the start of lent. And so that word trickled down to describe things that don’t make sense 😊

My main goal is to visit historical sites and do some great hikes (maybe one beach day but that's it), but I don't know if the July weather makes it possible. I don't deal really well with extreme heat (>30-35°C).

Any advice ? I won't be able to take vacation in September, so should I just wait for next May ?

Thanks a lot !!

Hello! I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but in July you should consider it a certainty that most days will go above 35C 🫥 however, it depends on what hikes you have in mind. If it’s something like the Samaria Gorge or similar, so close to the coastlines, I would say nah you won’t enjoy it. And from what I’m seeing the queues to visit Acropolis etc are already starting to be insane unless you go really early.

I could write an essay but I won't 😪😮‍💨 im too beat, I too poor and nobody cares anyways

☝️🤓 but i will cheerfully be at the cinemas to watch my comfort superhero movie, it's the only injection of energy/happiness im looking forward to, the audience experience of nwh was something else
