We had only booked three nights at Giannis. Â The room was already been allocated to someone else for tomorrow – we can move to a side room without a kitchen but I think this is the excuse we are looking for to move on from Adamas. Â We had planned to go on to Serifos or…
When we arrived at the port of Adamas on the Seajet last night, there was plenty of choice regarding rooms – there were at least a dozen or so people were waiting with photographs of rooms for rent on the island. Â Peter and I still hadn’t decided where to stay but we had thought that…
Today we’re leaving Folegandros for Milos. Thankfully the high-speed cat doesn’t leave until 19.10pm so we have a full day on the island and today we’re going to Ano Meria. We’ve already packed as we need to vacate the room by 12.00pm. Â Evgenia has allocated a space near the reception office for our bags. The…
The alarm clock wakes us up at 6.00am. Â This morning we’re going to walk up to Panagia Church that sits one kilometre up on the ridge above the chora. Â We think that we may go to Ano Meria after breakfast at Molidiri. First we are going to build up our appetite! If you turn right…
Our first mission of the day is to discover one of Folegandros’s beaches. Â Now Folegandros we know is a rocky island and doesn’t have the white sand beaches that other Cycladic islands are known for but we are keen to explore anyway. We decided to get the bus to Agali which is on the West…
It is always sad leaving an island as is definitely the case today. However, this feeling is offset in the knowledge that we are heading off to a brand new island – one that neither Peter or I have visited before. When we awake we throw our last few bits into our suitcases. I decide…
By the time we went to bed last night we still hadn’t decided how to spend our last day on Antiparos, so this morning what do we do? We decide to go to Paros! I remember how pretty the little fishing village of Naoussa was so I’m keen to see if it lives up to…
This morning we have decided to take a trip to the Caves of Antiparos. Â I visited the caves on my first trip nearly 20 years ago but I didn’t make it on my second visit. Â We are told that we can either take the local bus which leaves at 11.30am or we can take the…
From Psaraliki Beach to a lively harbour at night, a first full day in Antiparos unfolds at an easy pace on this quietly charming Cycladic island.
This was the start of our journey from Manchester to Antiparos, travelling via Athens and Paros. On paper it looked simple. In reality, it turned into a long day of missed ferries, second chances and a very late arrival. The alarm went off at 4.00am and we were up. We had less than an hour…
