Breakfast was included at the Haritos and was served outside on a ground floor terrace. A set breakfast was brought to our table and although basic, was good enough to set us up for the day. Whilst we were eating breakfast we noticed a peculiar looking dog pacing up and down the street with its…
From the main street opposite the two supermarkets in Kardamyli, you will see a road sign for Kardamyli Old Town and today this is where we are going to explore. Ano Kardamyli or Upper Kardamyli is reached by a gradually inclining road that takes you through the rural countryside and the odd traditional house. It…
NB – This is part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015 and am now desperately trying to complete. 🙂 This morning we throw everything into our suitcases ready to leave Amorgos. What an exceptional stay it has been. We go to the shop close by for bottles of water. It’s one…
Note: this is part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015. I lost many of my images during a hard drive failure but thankfully still have enough left to remind of this trip. ♥ One of the first things I usually do upon arriving on a new island is to check out…
NB This is part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015. I’ve got that sinking feeling – woooah that sinking feeling. I’ve got that sinking feeling and it’s time time time, time to pack my bag! Anyway, bags are packed and we just have time to have a final mooch around the…
Three nights on Schinoussa is definitely not long enough for me. I think I could definitely have stayed here longer as it really is the perfect place to relax. Grispos Villa’s has been fantastic and is highly recommended. Book your stay at Grispos Villas here We have booked tickets for the The little Skopelitis this…
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…
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,…
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…
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….
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…
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…
