Astir Of Paros (Le)

Delos is an incredibly interesting place. The entire island is a collection of ruins where no one is allowed to stay on the island overnight so everyone who visits are day trippers—most of whom are staying in Mykonos. It was an excellent day for exploring ruins at just over 60F degrees it was cool and pleasant. There is a lot to explore on the island so be sure to leave enough time to see it all.

There are no complete building standing, but ...

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again.

Kalimera! Upon seeing Mykonos for the first time, we thought we were in the opening scene of Mama Mia! Upon our departure, we felt like we were guests of a "Big Fat Greek Wedding"!

Princess had contracted out local Greek charters to transport passengers from the Ruby to the Island of Mykonos! The local Greeks were very hospitible and provided a short and smooth transit to the island's marina. We were so ...

... which was a smaller island about a mile off Paros. We drove up a big windy hill and came across some caves that were pretty awesome. Very deep with loads of ancient graffiti. Even some from and old King of Greece! e then found another couple of beaches and headed back to the main island to find the butterflies. At the top of another large windy hill we came to the sanctuary. We ended up spending all of 5 minutes ...

... was a picture of a speedo) we made it to Naoussa and hopped off to have a quick little exploration. Yet another city full of alleys of shops and restaurants. But they had a nice seabreak which had a little lookout on it so we went and had a good little explore. Just another pretty town.

By now our stomachs were grumbling, so we headed inland to Kostos to see a little tavern recommended by some people. Terrain in there is very different …. and very hot!! We found ...

... with anyone before. It was telling me that if I let her slip away it would be the biggest mistake of my life. My heart was in pain, crying out to be with her but all the while my head was telling me that having such feelings for someone so young was not normal, maybe even not right. By returning to Paros I was following my heart. I was telling Heather that I had feelings for her and that I wasn't going to run away or hide from these feelings. I was telling her that I didn't care ...

... or 2) crack a joke. Maybe it's the dark Irish sense of humour but I opted for number two and my reply was 'ah, man-haters on tour'. Thankfully they found this equally as funny as I did. They were great company to drink with and for me it was the best night out we had since getting to the islands. It was daylight by the time Boyce and I made our way back to our tents and as I lay down to sleep I was thinking how brilliantly things had worked out since we got here ...

... surprisingly, PAROS IS INCREDIBLE!! little tortuous streets, precious white houses with balconies full of lilacs, mallows and other flowers, small taverns, full of life but calm at the same time... Oh my god, I'm gonna cry! (yes, you can beat me!). We like the place so much that we ask the Hostel Festos owner if it's possible to stay another night there but he tells us that he have no vacated rooms for the next d ay, so tomorrow we'll ...

How on Earth did I get to be so lucky?

My family and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands. We ate a lot, got sea sick once, soaked up the sun, and absorbed the classically beautiful white and blue colours on the islands. There weren't very much ship activities that my sister and I were interested in but Allyson and I did win a bingo game! Mykonos was by far our favorite island because of its beauty.
