... are still many columns as well as some interesting mosaics. Even with what remains, there is enough to get a good idea of what the island would have been like in its heyday. The best know sculptures on the island are a row of lions. <br><br>We anchored within the Bay of Delos and returned in the afternoon for lunch aboard. After we finished exploring the island, we boarded the yacht and returned to Mykonos for the evening. We went to shore and found a ...

It&#8217;s a little cool outside for a party island that is famous for its nude beaches and all-night dance clubs. This is the first time that I wished we were visiting Greece during the tourist season since the town almost feels empty and the beaches deserted. <br> <br> This is ...

... tomorrow. The awesome thing is that tomorrow is the official torch lighting ceremony in Olympia for the winter games in Canada. I have no idea if I'll be able to get to see it but I'm going to try to at least experience some part of it. You don't often get chances like that in life. For every Olympic games since way back to the original games, the torch is lit in this same stadium. And now, of course, that flame gets passed from torch to torch to torch all around the ...

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.

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 !!)

I'm on the island of Paros now, this is my 3rd night here. I was planning on going to Mykonos this morning but all ferries have been canceled because it's so freaking windy. Let me catch you up on the terribly exciting past couple of days. ha! As I said before, I was bored in Naxos but I did accomplish a couple of things. One of them getting laundry done. For 9 Euro I dropped everything off and picked it up a few hours later all fresh and folded! You don't realize what ...

... decided to go and see the infamous Paradise Beach, a bit of a resort setup along the coast complete with a couple of bars, restaurants and a camping ground which had a reputation for big nights out. It was not to be confused with Super Paradise Beach, which was the gay nudist beach (though I bet many made the mistake - Paradise Beach vs Super Paradise Beach, if you didn't know, which is the obvious choice?) Despite not being an official nudist beach ...

... that works on the island so you make tons of friends really fast. We go talk to the groups of people who just got here just for fun. After the beach, we go home and eat and grab a quick nap before all meeting around 10:00 pm to go out and hit the bars. The square gets packed around 2:00 am, but the parties last until the sun comes up, then the cycle continues. My roommate has not been home before 6:00 am once. I have gone out 12 nights in a row, but I can only last until 3:00 or so. I ...

So we arrived to Santorini. The port was bustling "you want a cab" "you want a room" we just slunk past and got on the bus up the hill. Our hotel was quite nice with a pool but this was our first real introduction to the European shower. We walked up to town and I picked up some cough medicine, an interesting experiment, lucky George speaks a little of the lingo and was able to get it all across for me. Santorini is ...
