    Sifnos – Visit to the Kastro

    ByStephanie Banks 13 May 20143 July 2022

    We head out for the 10.00am bus to Apollonia again.  For the last couple of days there has been the same crowd of people waiting at the stop – two Dutch couples who are on a walking holiday, a middle aged American couple who tell us the snow is still thick on the ground back…

    Trip to Panagia Chrisopigi and Platis Gialos

    ByStephanie Banks 12 May 20142 July 2022

    We catch the 10.00am bus to Artemonas via Apollonia where the main bus station is located.  When I say bus station I mean a car park where the buses seem to depart from.  From here we will catch a bus to Panagia Chrisopigi but first we go to the bakery at Artemonis for breakfast.  Pastries…

    Exploring Kamares Bay

    ByStephanie Banks 11 May 20142 July 2022

    This is what holidays are all about – a late breakfast on the beach!   Today we’re going to explore Kamares a bit more and decide to walk along the bay path past Agia Marina to Agia Ekaterini.  We decide not to climb the 2000 steps up to Agia Marina in the midday sun but…

    Sifnos – Exploring Apollonia and Beyond

    ByStephanie Banks 10 May 20142 July 2022

    We are really happy with Pension Morfeus. Not only is the hospitality exceptional but the room itself is lovely. It is really clean and modern with brightly coloured furnishings that makes the room feel light and bright. Through the window in the bedroom looking towards the back of the hotel there are views of fields…

    Serifos – Last Day and on to Sifnos

    ByStephanie Banks 9 May 20142 July 2022

    Our last breakfast at the Serifos Palace is again fantastic.  I will say this has been some of the best breakfasts we have ever had in the Greek islands.  There is a nice big round flat cheese pie each, cake, bread and jam and cheese and ham – brilliant! Being the only people staying in…

    ByStephanie Banks 8 May 20142 July 2022

    Matoula has raised the bar with the breakfast again today! We decide to go out straight after breakfast and catch the bus directly to the Chora.  There is no let up with the wind.  We had met a couple of Dutch tourists at the bus stop who were travelling around the islands as part of…

    Serifos – A Lazy Day on the Beach!

    ByStephanie Banks 7 May 20142 July 2022

    Today it is still very windy and a little bit chilly.  There is another amazing breakfast on offer but we eat inside the apartment today as the furniture in the outside restaurant is being bounced all over the courtyard by the wind.  We have ham, cheese, boiled eggs, a loaf of bread with honey and…

    Serifos – Exploring Livadakia and the Chora

    ByStephanie Banks 6 May 20142 July 2022

    We started the day with an amazing breakfast.  The lady that picked us up from the port introduces herself to us as Matoula. When we came down she was already preparing our breakfast in the small kitchen off the courtyard.  She brought us a generous spread of boiled eggs, bread with jam and honey, cheese,…

    Last Day on Kythnos and on to Serifos

    ByStephanie Banks 5 May 201417 May 2023

    Today we are heading off to Serifos. However the ferry leaves in the later afternoon which gives us time to see a bit more of Kythnos Chora. Once we pack we go and pay for our stay with Katerina who orders a taxi to pick us up ate 5.00pm. I must say that Filoxenia lives…

    Kythnos – Dryopida and the Katafyki Caves

    ByStephanie Banks 4 May 20142 July 2022

    Today we are going to visit the village of Dryopida  Like Kea there isn’t a bus service running at this time of year so we book a taxi – or rather Katerina phones for a taxi for us.  The journey takes us up spiraling roads above Chora and then drops down again it Dryopida itself….

    ByStephanie Banks 3 May 20142 July 2022

    George was still asleep when we left and so we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. On the way to the port, we pick up some pastries from the bakery for breakfast.  The Aqua Spirit is on time and she is virtually empty.  Farewell Kea! Hello Kythnos! When we arrive at Kythnos we still…

    Kea – In Search of the Lion

    ByStephanie Banks 2 May 20142 July 2022

    George had told us that whenever a ferry is due into the port, the bus would be there to take people to the Chora. Looking at the ferry timetable and checking the schedules we could see that the Aqua Jewel was due in around 8am. We walked to the port, stopping off at a nearby…
