Levantes Luxury Resort Hotel Ios

... port of call was the church at Imerovigli where we had been told by Thanes there was a celebration in honour of Saint Nicholas (this being both Sunday and the feast of Saint Nicholas). Well we headed up there, parked the car and found that we would have to enter the church to be involved. Feeling like we were intruding we decided not to go in. It was great though to see the smiling faces of the congregation as it broke up, all carrying with pride the pieces of bread the ...

There are simple ways of getting to Oia (or Ia as it is also know and how you pronounce it), such as bus, taxi or hire car. But who needs simple? I had read as part of my research about the wonderful walk between Fira and Oia and I thought we'd give it a try. Loading up the backpack with some supplies (but forgetting water of all things) we set off through the town of Fira which seamlessly turns into Firostafani. Along the way there are so many photo opportunities to get pretty pictures of ...

... who was from nova scotia. WTF?



Anyway, quick the drunk started coming on and we continued to each bar,
we walked by as ozzies would promote the bar saying "1 shot, 1 euro" or
"2 s************tails, €5" it got old until we went to shamrocks where
each of us did the two shots, two drink special. Two vodka redbulls,
two shots of vodka! Woo! Can't say I have had too many nights where I
don't remember anything, from there we went to another bar ...

... firt whihc I found sweet, but the "sightseeing" sucked. Afterwards, at around 9pm, we had a big bbq at the hotel and somehow, Peter, Chitty, and I decided to get hammered. We each had 10 shots of Smirnoff North, plus one free shot, plus some wine. we got so smashed that instead of walking up the steps to get to town, we took the bus. We went to the Fun Pub where the fun really began. Right when we got there the guys got me (and themselves) a flaming lamborghini (containing: kahlua ...

... of Athens on the night of the 3rd and it works out perfectly I think. I want to spend the last two weeks of the trip in the UK and now it's all sorted. I really don't feel so bad about not seeing another country. I always loved spending a few weeks in one country, so the trip has worked out well. I feel like I should say more about Ios, as I haven't said much about it at all. There really isn't much to it really. There is the port, then about a kilometer up the ...

... and give us the right key. Joe and I sat in the room, watched BBC World (which repeats its news over and over and over again--I know all about the Russian and Venezuelan elections, as well as chimps with photographic memories), and ate our make-shift dinner. Then, we didn't have anything else to do, and we couldn't figure out the heater, so it was a cold night. All we could look foward to was breakfast the next morning. When I woke up, I thought to ...

Well, the Greek islands have certainly met their reputation. Hot hot hot weather, parties all night long and sleeping all day.... Tara and i started in Santorini with a few friends that we met up with from Pink Palace. A day of Quad biking around the island, including a stop at the most beautiful winery for some wine tasting. ooh la la. how fancy. It was really fun. Continued way into the night and how fun it was ...

... Moussaka, squids!
















After lunch, we finally get to see the hotel room. Hotel Keti is the best hotel throughout our honeymoon! Best value for money and best view from the room!
You musn't miss the fantastic view of the hotel which I've captured in video!

These two houses out of nowhere, are actually painted very nice, and they aren't any special buildings. We just cannot resist and had to stop our car just to take a picture of them!













Greece also export a lot of pistachios. And it is from here that we first see a pistachio tree. They ...
