Greek mythology can be dated back to 900 BC according to some sources, yet to this day the city of Athens still hosts some of the now dated structures from the time. Danielle tells us more about the marvellous Acropolis that can be seen from every viewpoint in Athens, also leading to her hot hack that'll save you some pennies!

Milos was also on the cards for Danielle and she explored this island on a quad bike with a more relaxed approach, easily fitting into the zen atmosphere of Milos and its dozen beautiful beaches.

As promised, here's a list of Danielle's recommendations, including beaches, food and sights for both Athens and Milos:

Milos:

• Gyros of Milos - restaurant
• Sankirkino Beach
• Hired ATV from Nicki's
• Pathenia Beach
• Paralia Firopotomas - beach village
• Plaka hike to the castle
• Diopiottrio - restaurant
• Pollina beach
• Mykonos beach

Athens:

• Neos Kosmos
• Ancient Agora
• Acropolis
• The Temple of Hepthesus
• Monastiraki - flea market
• Kuzina - restaurant
• Lycabettus Hill
• Kalamaki Beach

Our first young, talented and driven 11 year old guest, I'm so proud to introduce Yuvraj Rajput. My nephew, but better known as Kenya's 3 x Autocross National Champion, Yuvraj talks us through the Big 5 at the National Parks, tells us stories about wildlife in Kenya, and he makes me jealous with his long list of visited destinations.

Danielle couldn't be there for this chat, but we discussed the format and questions beforehand to make sure our listeners got the very best of what Yuvi has to offer, this also means discussing his autocross career to date.

The big question for our listeners is this: Who is the TRUE king of the jungle? Let us know your thoughts after the episode @TravelChatsPodcast

You have some serious Lion King vibes to look forward to in this chat.

*At the time of recording, Yuvi hadn't yet won his third national autocross championship. We recorded this episode on the 27th of October 2021.
