Hotel Liogerma Milos

Today we just got back from the most incredible rock beach. The rock was solid formations of bleached white stone, rising in cliffs and leaning into the clear blue sea. The water was warm and the sun was way to hot. The bus system here requires us to shell out about ten euros a day to get around, but its worth it. From camping last night (in the sometimes unsleepable heat!), we woke up and bused into town and then to the Sarakini (the rock beach.) Our camera ran out of batteries ...

... The platform had been intentionally built low enough so that the sea waves would crash and wash underneath the tables and lounge chairs. The concept was interesting, but it meant you could not put shoes, beach bags or drinks on the ground beside you because they would be washed away. Occasionally a bigger wave would come, wash over, and actually push all of the chairs (with people) backward along the patio. After a couple of those waves we decided to relocated to lounge chairs that did ...

<br>After visiting Crete, we took a high speed ferry to the island of Folegandros, Greece. In a nutshell, WE LOVE FOLEGANDROS! <br><br>We had read nice things about Folegandros and Travel and Leisure magazine called it the &#8220;last unspoiled island of Greece&#8221;. This is the type of island you think of when you dream of the Greek Isles- unspoiled, beautiful villages, great food, and nice people. The island is about 7 miles long and 1 ...

... in Milos was fresh with a nuance of coolness. It was an incredibly beautiful sunny day, and cool. We went from the airport to the Rental Car Office of Athina - on the way, as always, the first thing I did was to turn on the radio. No Radio. I asked Athina " there is no Radio"? "No god reception on the Island... but I can give a DVD, it's from a local tavern in Milos" "Great" I said waiting to finally hear some Greek music. No Greek no smeek, It was ...

... living room. You can lie on the long sofas and sleep as a baby. Try to avoid sitting near 3 or 4 ladies (generally middle aged +) they will talk very loudly all the 7 hours. I once Tried to sleep near such a conversation focus. It's really a Sociological phenomenon. They speak all at the same time. It's not one asking questions and the other answering, It's a Chaos of voices with a fantastic stamina capable of speaking ...

... time to get some sun and lots of cooling down after in the clear blue sea. We highly recommend this beach for some total rest and relaxation. <br><br>Katergo Beach:<br><br>From the northest tip of the island, we then took an adventurous journey to go all the way south to the beautiful Katergo Beach. We parked our ATV at a safe place and began our journey to this hard-to-reach beach. I ...

... day. <br><br><br>Dinner at Chora:<br><br>By the time we reached Chora, we were totally famished! Due to my tiredness and hunger, I just sat myself down at the first decent restaurant in central Chora and asked for the menu. Although Argi was not happy with my choice, he was too nice to protest. The restaurant has an<br>English menu, much to my delight, and I started ordering my food, which was more Italian ...

... discussions, there has been some damage to the structure from an earthquake but its still in quite good order. The weather is forecast to turn bad tomorrow (Monday) for the next 3 days or so. We will use this time to go to some of the local museums and to stay locally. We will be heading back to Athens on 5th October - so fingers crossed the seas will be nice and calm for our crossing ...

... bluest Mediterranean. We dove off all day long, cooling ourselves from the baking sun. The tallest cliffs were about 50 or so feet and Joel had to jump off 2 of them. Milos is an amazing place and we were sad to leave, but it was only the first of several islands and we were looking forward to the next. Our next ferry would be an overnight to Santorini- it boarded at 2:15 am so after one last night of drinks we prepared for what would follow.

... no words to describe how amazingly beautiful the water, beaches, and island are. On our walk we sighted the cute houses with brick white washed with a blue tint. And the locals waved or honked hello. The way back was not so fun as walking in the sun knowing it was 40 minutes at least was not the adventure we wanted after baking the sun. Luckily we all made it. Since we were not getting picked up by the kayaking ...
