Farewell Nisyros and on to Tilos

Farewell Nisyros and on to Tilos

Our departure from the Haritos was pretty much the same as our arrival.  No sign of any staff but instead, a bowl on the reception desk where keys are collected and returned.  We had to leave for the ferry before breakfast was served this morning but that is no problem.  The Haritos Hotel was fine…

Nisyros in a Day!  And all becomes clear!

Nisyros in a Day! And all becomes clear!

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…

More Rhodes Rambles and onto Nisyros

More Rhodes Rambles and onto Nisyros

Our feet have just about recovered from yesterdays exploration around Rhodes Old Town.  We will be doing something a little less vigorous today especially as we need to catch the ferry to Nisyros later this evening. Taking the route through the St Johns gate again, we pass the medieval church of St Marie du Bourg. …

Farewell Karpathos – Now to Rhodes!

Up to the Traditional Mountain Village Of Olympos

Up to the Traditional Mountain Village Of Olympos

One of the most popular things to do on Karpathos apart from sampling the amazing beaches is to visit the mountain village of Olympos – and today was the day! The trip by public bus was 14 euros return for the 40+ kilometre journey to Olympos and also onto Diafani in the afternoon – all…

Final Day on Kasos – Ammoua Beach

Final Day on Kasos – Ammoua Beach

Yesterday I caught the island bus up to the village of Agia Marina and found a pretty good concrete road that snaked its way down to Ammoua beach which I didn’t managed to make the previous day. And talking of snakes I stamp stamp stamped my sandaled feet as I walked down this road –…

Visit to Armathia Island

Visit to Armathia Island

I’m halfway through my 8 nights on Kasos and this beautiful low key island has already stolen a piece of my heart. This island is so unspoilt and unusually doesn’t appear to have been ’boutiqued’ for the masses. Getting around the island is relatively easy.  From the main port village Fri, it is very easy…
