We went for lots of chocolate milk drinks another thing I am addicted to cold chocolate milk with crushed ice its fit and Ian love Frappe ...

... trip so not done too bad. As the waves where nearly 5 foot high it was impossible to swim on this part of the beach but Ian had saw that there was another part of the beach around the harbour where you could swim so we headed there and went for a lovely swim together.

Manchester united where playing Manchester City and we saw that one of the bars next to the harbour had it on so off we went for a few beers ...

... else and said that she had a room and could we follow him we walked down the main street then met up with a little old lady called Veronika whose place we where staying in now. Kokkari is so nice its like a little fishing village with shops and bars on the sea and then a little harbour with lots of restaurants and bars along it.

We went for a walk and a drink then went for something to eat we got some nice greek food saganaki fried cheese is my ...

... back and we were on Tender boat 2! :) We got off with the intention of walking to the Grotto where John wrote Revelations..turns out a few of us wanted to go and it was a 20 min stiff walk..so with a stop at the Gelataria we marched off. It was not a stiff pace, so we probably walked half an hour, up a dirty great big hill. The pace wasn't too bad and it was hot..but it wasn't long before we were at the top of the hill and looking at the cave where John was exiled to. It ...

PSILI AMMOS - (FINE SAND)


It is one of the most popular beaches on Samos.

Most of the beaches on the island are covered with
pebbles, as sand is a rarity on the island. This beach

Entering the cave we see in the depths of the cave a very old chapel-shrine. The Church is built at a depth of 94 steps from the cave's entrance.
Three hand-made tanks collect the water that slowly drips from cracks in the rocks. The darkness together with the sound of water ...

... the Ruins at Ireon. This small ticket costs 3 euros but you don't have to pay since you have already paid 8 in entering the Eupalinos Tunnel.

And its not just green its different shades, silver green from the olive trees, dark (racing green) from the fruit trees (figs, limes, lemons etc ...

... to the public). He might take you to a few places that are off limits if you are a very small group to avoid the crowds but where there may be snakes! He makes Ephesus comes alive for you and that, was what made it such a thrill to be visiting this otherwise crazily tourist congested hell-hole. I hope he will still be here in 10 years time as it will be interesting to walk through some of the further restored sites with his knowledge and seen through his eyes. His ...

Another early start, another Fez Bus ride. Thankfully the initial leg is only short, being the ride from Canakkale to the ancient city ruins of Troy (Truva). As expected, the regulation tacky large copy of the famous Trojan Horse lies at the entrance of the museum. Tourists take the obligatory 'waving out of the horse' shot. Great. Mr Ali, a gregarious local (to the point of wondering if he is on Uppers) takes us around explaining in fine details about the ...
