Homer's Inn Hotel Ios

... Noma was a little scared and I have to admit that looking over the edge from a donkey at the vertical drop did have my heart in my mouth a couple of times! Obviously thousands of people have done this before but when the donkeys are having a race to the top and a little old Greek man whipping them it makes for quite a trip!<br><br>Managed to get to the top without dying and wandered through the picturesque town to the old Oia castle and grabbed our spot for the sunset. We were ...

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!

A much more sensible pickup time of 9.45am this morning, saw Spiros drive us to Athens airport in another lovely Mercedes taxi. It took only 30 minutes in light Sunday morning traffic which was a pleasant change from the Athens city congestion typical of a place where 5 million people are endeavouring to get around, appearing every now &amp; then to try to do so at the one time!<br><br>While waiting for our flight, we had a quick look ...

... as a mode of transportation. <br><br>Agios Georgios Beach:<br><br>We continued on our journey till the very northern tip of the island to a beach called Argios Georgios. This is a nice sandy beach and very quiet, probably due to its distance from the main hub of Chora. It was nice to have the whole beach to ourselves, save for only a few other couples. We stayed at the beach for ...

... size bed, and 2 twin beds. I knew that Colin would end up spending the night so I just switched rooms with him. I twas gonna be fun sharing a room with Peter and Chitty. Waking up the next morning was great. I put my bikini on and spent the entire day by the pool working on my tan. That evening we went out to the village to enjoy a night of bar hopping. I was amazed about how all the clubs only opened at midnight and closed the next morning. We had to climb about a km beofre we got into ...

Still here still here. Ahhh!! Why is it so hard to leave I do not know. Actually it's pretty easy to figure out. I get to suntan on a beach all day in the heat with the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore all day everyday and I am loving it. It's so hard to leave, I am just in the rhythm here. I really don't have much to report as that pretty much sums up what I do here everyday. I really could have stayed for the summer, alas I could NOT handle this place in ...

Help! This was probably a bad choice, and the travel agent told us so, but Joe insisted that we see Ios, also known by the Irish as "Irish Over Seas". Maybe during the summer, but near winter? NOOOOO! Joe and I arrived on a 90 minute ferry and was greeted by the owner of the hotel who was so nice, and drove us up to the hotel. She showed us the shortcuts to town, the supermarket and where to rent a car, but she forgot to tell us that everything was ...

... Dean) and slept until 2pm. Oops. Oh well, we realised later that thats what you do on ios. Sleep until midday then get up, go out at midnight to party. We walked our little white block pathway to the town and explored the shops. Really cute. Steps and winding corridors, easy to get lost but somehow really easy to find home. Had a breakfast crepe with egg bacon tomato cheese and onion. So yum. Went ...
