About Dave's Travel Blog

Hi, I'm Dave, and I've been creating helpful travel guides and itineraries for independent travelers on Dave's Travel Pages since 2005.

Dave Briggs, writer at Dave's Travel Pages

I've been living in Athens, Greece since 2015, so you'll find lots of destination insights and travel tips from a local in my Greece blogs.

Covering popular Greek islands like Crete, Santorini and Mykonos, as well as lesser-known locations like Meteora, the Peloponnese and the Ionian islands, there's a treasure trove of practical advice and inspiration for your next Greek adventure.

I've also traveled extensively around the world, and my website features bikepacking blogs and destination guides from my journeys across Europe, South America, Africa, Asia, and beyond.
