Today we are doing the island bus tour. Today is the first day we’ve had to set the alarm – being lazy has been heaven!  The bus leaves at 9.30am so we need to get our skates on.  Firstly we walk down from the Kastro to the port making a short pit stop at the…
What’s wrong with us! This our second beach day in a row! Well – when on Naxos you have to take advantage of one of its best assets which is its long stretches of white sand beaches. Today we decide to go to Plaka – lets see if it’s the same as I remember it…
It was 9.30am before we awoke and we were feeling quite exhausted. Â We decide to have a lazy day on the beach to finally lay all of the stresses of the previous days travel to rest. We had picked up the bus timetable the previous evening and it shows that there is a very good…
We are so lucky to have 18 days for this trip. Â Last year we had 16 days for our trip to Kea, Kythnos, Serifos and Sifnos and those extra couple of days really made all the difference to a regular two week holiday. Â I had taken so long deliberating over which islands to visit this…
We head out for the 10.00am bus to Apollonia again. Â 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…
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 going to visit Kimolos – the tiny island just a short boat ride away from Milos. Â 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….
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…
