Galaxy Naxos

... 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 ...

... to not get so caught up with what you've achieved in life, as to get caught up in how you are living and celebrating life. Because I promise you, one day all of our oh-so-important-stuff is going to be washed over just like the Romans. And we'll be a quaint little blip on the map of history.<br><br>Um. Sorry. I went a little deep there. Perhaps those thoughts are better saved for my journal than my hippity hoppity fun blog!<br><br>Okay, so, Mykonos today and then ...

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 !!)

... didn't embarass myself and got him under control and truned around all by myself but I was more careful after that anytime something passed us. We chatted with the young girs from behind us one of which was from Germany and the other form Pennsylvania who had come to work at the horse stables and were just learning the ropes having only been there one and three days respectively. They were interesting girls and it was lovely talking to them. The recommended a good gelato place but ...

... out exactly the way I wanted it and due to its size and weight it was not be the most practical of ankle bracelets but because a piece of me went into its creation she loved it all the same. As it was too heavy for my knots it kept breaking hence having to return to the shop so the guy could attach a proper clasp on it. For the rest of the afternoon we went shopping all around town. Yes that's right I went shopping...shock horror. I still don't like to shop but doing it is fun ...

... s no hostel here, I was told it was because of problems with theft. That's BS. Get better security then! I've stayed in hostels all over Europe, New Zealand, Australia, etc and never had a problem with stealing or heard of anyone else having a problem. Anyway, so I'm on my own again here and surrounded by oldies! I know there has to be other travelers here my age but where the heck are they! The trip was mostly a huge bore I'm sorry to say ...

... church that was carved out of a mountainside. We found that the church was basically a cave with a facade plastered in front of it. I really thought it was cool. About this time the sun came out, which was the first time in days we had seen the sun. Just a fantastic feeling to see the sun again. Greek language cracks me up. I see people yelling at each other with strong voices, but smiling the whole time. It's a wonder all these people don't have ulcers all the ...

We avoided the greek island zombie effect today by forcibly removing ourselves from slumber at the far-too-respectable hour of 7.30am. Santorini was a fine destination to kick off the island tour, and it proved to be the perfect time of year to come and visit. Initially, we'd planned to head north a short distance to the island of Ios, but from all accounts, Ios was nothing more than a small hunk of land infested with drunken poms and Irishmen ...
