Despina & John Naxos

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&#8212;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.<br><br>There are no complete building standing, but ...

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 ...

... am headed there shortly. It's windy and rain clouds are looming. So, probably not going to get to work on that deep, dark, golden tan. Oh well. Maybe in Spain. :)<br><br>OH! Have I told you about where I'll be spending my birthday? I found this absolutely adorable agriturismo in southern Sicily that looks wonderful. Here's the site: www.villazottopera.it They're going to give me one-on-one cooking classes and they have a pool and horses and walking trails and all ...

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!

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 !!)

... they used when they went to their summer homes on another part of the island and some really cool old clothes, lace and tapestries that the ladies had made and some really love Venetian glass and jewellery. We went outside the castle at one point to ooohh and ahh over the 800 year old gate and than we went down in the basement to see the well and the old food storage areas. It was lovely and cool in temp down there and they gave us tastings of Ouzo which came in varying strengths ...

... of peanuts into the pocket of my shirt saying that they were for later. As the night wore on I had completely forgotten I had them until that is we were making our way home. On the promenade we came across a small arcade one of those claw machines where you can win a teddy bear. Heather being Heather wanted a teddy and put the challenge up for to win her one. Me being me I desperately wanted to win one for her, show her that I'm the man. Coin after coin I was putting in the machine ...

... almost the entire time here. But still hot, it would be worse without the breeze. Then we grabbed a quick lunch at one of the restaurants and it was time to catch the hostel bus to the port. We were all on the same ferry , the 3 girls on an 8 hour ride back to Athens and me just for 2 hours to Naxos. It was sad to say goodbye, it's nice to have new friends to travel with for a few days. I will see Alana and Mel in Australia most likely. Not ...

... for Athens where my mom, Carolyn will stay with her brother and sister-in-law and the rest of us will move on to Naplion in the Peloponnese. Will now attach some pics. Hope you all are doing well. Drop us a comment or email if the spirit moves you. Also we have heard little or no news since we left. Peace, Dave and Nancy PS: Still having problems sending pics. Will try again later.

... to share - a plate of deep friend whole fish, with heads, eyes and fins in all in tact, staring back up us grimly from the plate. I went to town on the fish and felt pangs of queasiness along the windy road back home. From Lionas Bay we headed north to the 'Apollon', another sleepy beachside jetty town with an unpatronised beach and real, golden sand just like back home. The Greek Islands are probably the best spot to be in if you fancy getting your ...
