Anatoli Hotel Naxos Island

this trip was very special to me,because it was the first one after I finally finished with school and had the freedom to do everything I want,without anybody else controlling me!the only thing I wanted to do is find a nice place with great people to relax and so I did.i met many interesting people and it was a journey to remember!

... to eat. We picked a little place in the harbour and had a lovely meal Ian having lamb and I had Stifado was delicious then in the place we where they had a traditional Greek wedding taking place with live music and everyone was up doing the traditional dancers. The bride and groom had not arrived but they were due to arrive later I think we did not hang around and had a lovely walk back to the hotel and a long long sleep.

... side of the road as well but everything was fine and we went off to the highest part of the island this was fine not really very hilly although with little riding experience I was getting puffed out also smoking marlboro and eating fried cheese for 3 days running probably had a little to do with it.

We stopped for drinks and decided to head off to the other ...

... Got some fresh bread and cheese for lunch and some pasta with onions, garlic, peppers and fresh tomatoes for dinner with a bottle of the local wine to go with it.

Took the hydroplane from Santorini to Mykonos. Stayed right on the beach and the cruise ships docked right down the beach. Island topography not as dramatic as Santorini but very nice. Surprised how dry and little vegetation on both islands. Got my whole body in the Mediterranean not just my feet (no pictures of that !!)

... a piece of her, for it's a piece of her that goes into the making of it. It's a much more personal gift in comparison to a tee-shirt of a key ring. I was touched by how she decided to display her love for her friends in this way but I was even more touched by her suggestion that we make some jewelery for each other. There are probably guys reading this that will think what a soppy girlie thing to do but for me the idea was beautiful. The idea of creating something for the person ...

Good morning, Yesterday we left the lovely Santorini for a 2.5 hour ride to Naxos. The ride itself was really nice and before we knew it we had arrived at Naxos. Given we were getting into Naxos at 6pm we thought we had better book some accomadation before we got there. So on to bookings.com we go and found this great place that was "close" to the main city at an awersome price for two nights. We, stupidly ...
