Hotel Galinos Parikia

... 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 ...

... orange juice, taking exercise classes, bundling up between museums and spending a small fortune on face creams, treatments and make up. But, as I said, I have absolutely loved this experience. So, no complaints.<br><br>Today we are in Mykonos. And it finally looks like the movies. Not to insinuate Corfu and Athens weren't beautiful -- they just weren't the bleached white houses hanging from rocky cliffs. Mykonos is quite exactly that. I haven't gone into town yet ...

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!

... to eat. We picked a little place in the harbour and had a lovely meal Ian having lamb and I had Stifado was delicious then in the place we where they had a traditional Greek wedding taking place with live music and everyone was up doing the traditional dancers. The bride and groom had not arrived but they were due to arrive later I think we did not hang around and had a lovely walk back to the hotel and a long long sleep.

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 !!)

... 5 more agents in other offices. Nothin. Nada. Zip. One of the room owners was around asking people if they needed a room for the night so I chatted to one of them for a while and decided just to stay here for the night so I can take the first ferry out. So for 20 Euro I practically have my own apartment, it's huge. 3 beds, big bathroom, kitchen, etc. If only I had some friends to share it with! That's it for now, hopefully you'll be hearing from me next time from Mykonos! x x x

... but not nearly as much as it was in early August. From what the locals say this is the perfect time to be here....weather and crowds are goods. Troy is leaning over my should sipping on ouzo and trying to read a greek magazine. This has been the best vacation I think we have ever taken...I just wish we had more days to explore each island. We never want to leave it seems. Tomorrow we get up bright and early to leave for Mykonos. From what I hear ...

... come. Watched a beautiful sunset and tried not to vomit as all these people got engaged around me! I have been fortunate enough to have gone to some of the most romantic places in the world (Mauritius, Langkawi, Venice, etc etc) but am starting to feel a bit of an intruder as I always seem to go there when I'm single!! But...fortunately...I was rescued as I ate my dinner on my own overlooking the sunset...by Antonio...the Greek restaurant ...

Arriving in Parikia, Paros, we again were going to camp, but were advised that it was not opened yet. We bumped into some backpackers that were leaving and they suggested a place, where they had just spent a few days. It was gorgeous. We were only paying 5,000dr a night (cheaper than the campgrounds/bus fares etc). We had a lovely little room with a kitchen, which opened up to a massive patio (we ...
