Ios Resort Hotel

... for these kind of occasions! the only draw back being that is right next to to the pool pump! We weren't complaining though. I think it was the best sleep me and Noma had had in a fair while!<br><br>We we final did surface to bright sunshine at about 1pm the room was ready and we dumped our stuff off and had a walk along the Perissa Beach (which is basically 20 steps from Stelios place!) We found a lovely little cafe overlooking the beach and had a spot of lunch and a couple ...

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!

... the caldera in orange glow and creating the most relaxing &amp; pretty atmosphere you can imagine.....even though this was our second time here, one never grows tired of the fabulous views across the crater from the hotels which almost cling to the cliff-face 700 feet above the blue water.<br><br>Food &amp; a spot more shopping for t-shirts for the family (some shops do not close until as late as 11pm!) was now in order......the ...

... beside a walkway wall which was<br>only about 3 ft high. Ohh, so funny. I laughed for about 10 mins and<br>the funniest part was that this was in the main square...and this is<br>only 6 hours into Ios. I ended up spending 5 days here.<br><br><br><br>This is day one.<br><br>Day two consisted of us lying on the beach, these ozzies and no sun screen, no wonder they have the highest skin cancer rate. We just sat on the beach in Mylopotas for a while. I was on a search for ...

... lovely to see them totally unperturbed by the presence of the few tourists around. The whole scene reminds me of my childhood days in my hometown in Malaysia. My family used to sit on benches outside our shop-cum-house with all our neighbours and while the adults will chat away after a hard days&#8217; work, the children will be playing catch and hop games. <br><br>We went to the ...

... This beach is<br>situated directly opposite Angali on the east side of the narrowest part of the island, facing the Aegean Sea. Snugly nestledwithin the Vorina Bay, the waters here wascalmer. However, the climb down to the beach was quite challenging as it was rather steep but we conquered it without any problem. It would have been much easier for me if Argi had warned me of all this walking and climbing, as ...

... when it was fianlly my turn, I got layed down on the bar, hottie went on top ofme and in the vodka&amp;lime went in. first time I started swallowing when I wasn't meant to, then the 2nd time I waited to swallow but when I did I accidentaly pushed it out of my mouth, thus snorting vodka. It was great; finally tho, on my 3rd try, i did it exactly as I was meant to. The actions that follow next should not be remembered, but its all in good fun. I met some boys that said they'd get me a ...

... bad either. It's where I spend my days, then my exercise is the ****** hike back up the steep hill into town again. I feel slightly better about myself each time I take the trek back and not the bus. Down at the beach is the other only real hostel of the island, called Far Out. In the height of summer, it can take 1500 people alone. It has a pool, lounge chairs and bar right across the street from the beach and it's so nice to just suntan for a few hours on the ...

... drive around the island. Ios is the location for Homer's tomb, so we went to see that. Ios also has lots of farms, and goats which adds to their fantastic food--everything is grown and raised locally. AND we also found a restaurant that served a shot of Ouzo to start the meal--yuck--not good on an empty stomach. In all, glad we saw the island, but we will be more glad to get back into civilization tomorrow when we go to the Island of Santorini!

... and Antoine, a french/ canadian couple who we met at pink palace and absolutely fell in love with. It was great to see familiar faces (they seem to be evrywhere here) i think pink palace really set us up for that. Really looking forward to England, something more like home, but am definately going to miss this holiday side of our trip. It has been a blast and we have met the coolest people. On to new things!!
