Far Out Ios

Ios

Kalimera!!! I've been having an awesome time on the Greek islands!!! The group is full of good people and hanging around on a beach is something I've been wanting to do for a while. The other islands I've been to are Mykonos, Paros and Santorini and Ios is the last before I head back to Athens. Mykonons was fairly touristy but where I first came across Gyros, which are sooooo tasty!! From here I also went to Delos to visit the archaeological site there, I think one of the most imporntant site...

Hey, "Far Out"...that's the name of the place I stayed at on Ios. Its FAR OUT, check out the photos on the website. http://www.faroutclub.com/hotshots_page .html First off, the last night in Santorini there was a Dodgy guy staying in our dorm. Haing left of the night out, my Hav's were left next to my bed. When I returned home there were gone, being slightly intoxicated I noticed but expect to find them the next morning. Next morning, they were nowhere to be found...I am convinced that the gu...

So much island hopping has occured since we last wrote, but i decided to compile Ios, Santorini, and Crete all into one blog entry. However we did make map points around the approximate dates that we were at those islands. So when we left off, Lizabeth and I were in beautiful, relaxed Paros. Much like Ireland the islands seem to be more in a state of getting ready for tourist season than completely catering to tourists. Many restaurants are still closed, the buses run less frequently than pac...

Greetings from Boston! In earnest, we were trying for days to send you guys an email but just couldn't get sober enough to do it properly. About a week ago, we said sad goodbyes with our Bulgarian friends Svetlio and Yanna, who enjoyed one last round of beers at the train station before our late departure. It wasn't long before we were fast asleep in our cabins on the way to Thessaloniki, a wonderfully quirky town in northern Greece. We received a great message from Svetlio via text message i...

Stayed in Ios for three nights. It is known as being the "party island" of the greek isles. Decided to camp out again because it was again much cheaper than staying in a hotel and I already had a tent. I had heard from other travelers that the best campgrounds to stay at was called Far Out. Went there and the travelers were right. There was a pool party every day at the campgrounds and I met tons of other cool travelers to hang out with. Spent the days lounging by the pool and beach relaxing....

chill day...went to the beach and another famous hostel called "Far Out". Bus ride cost 1.10 euro and definitely worth it. Far Out is a huge hostel/hotel with swimming pool x 2, basketball court, soccer pitch (5 on 5) and others... Evening was spent with my friends Landon and Woody (two aussie mates I met in Corfu that also came to Ios). And being the friend that I am, I bought them each a flaming lamborghini (they had never heard of this cocktail before) I know that they will definitely reme...

After a slow ride in a rusty old tub we finally arrived at the so called hedonistic island of Ios. We stayed at the "Far Out" complex which was on the lovely Mylopotas beach in a really nice solid hut with thatched roof looking out across the bay. We were picked up by this crazy English bloke who just talked about how drunk he liked to get every night and how he and his mate were after as many girls as possible in the season- he explained this all to us as he looked over his shoulder driving ...
