    On to Kythnos and a Walk to the Beach

    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…

    A Day Trip to the Little Island of Kimolos

    ByStephanie Banks 2 July 201317 February 2022

    Today we are going to visit Kimolos – the tiny island just a short boat ride away from Milos.  We’re going to catch the 10.30am ferry but get there a little earlier to eat some breakfast and to walk around the little harbour. At the port Peter engages in conversation with an elderly Greek lady….

    Ano Meria Folegandros then on to Milos

    ByStephanie Banks 28 June 201317 February 2022

    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.  Evgenia has allocated a space near the reception office for our bags. The…

    Up to Panagia Church and Down to Katergo Beach, Folegandros

    ByStephanie Banks 27 June 201317 February 2022

    The alarm clock wakes us up at 6.00am.  This morning we’re going to walk up to Panagia Church that sits one kilometre up on the ridge above the chora.  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…

    Farewell Antiparos – Hello Folegandros!

    ByStephanie Banks 25 June 201318 August 2021

    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…

    A day trip to Paros

    ByStephanie Banks 24 June 201317 August 2021

    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…
