Margarita's House Naoussa

... 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 ...

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again. <br>

... 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!

So you would think on the last day we would be off going crazy but its a little cloudy today so we just had a little walk to the harbour and had some coffee and cake and then went and got some pasta sauce to go with the left over spaghetti that we had and had a lovely lunch in then just sat and read our books caught up with washing underwear and repacking and washing backpack then got ready and had to drag myself out for ...

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 !!)

... beach in an attempt to even ourselves out. It was so beautiful there, D'Arcy's favourite beach ever. The sand was definitely golden, anf the water nice and inviting. i worked on ym tan while D'Arcy enjoyed a Corona for 4.50 E and then swam like a fish! While there we enjoyed the treats we had picked up at a bakery in Naoussa. I took some footage there for posterity, the water so so crystal clear you could see extremely far in it. After a couple of ...

The sunset at Santorini Our spirits are high as our airplane lands on the island of Santorini. We can't wait to see the famous white vernacular buildings with blue roofs hugging the edge of the terrain. We could not have arrived at a more perfect time, it's close to sunset and we are making our way through the windy roads. Our anticipation is increasing with each turn of the path. Before I knew it were at the stop ...

Today we were in Santorini again. I did a little window shopping with one of the waitresses Angelika who's from South Africa. Santorini is a very expensive place to shop so I didn't buy anything. It's great to window shop though because there are so many little shops and they sell everything. I was only able to get out for just over an hour. It takes awhile to get to Santorini because you have to take the ...

Sunday morning we woke up bright and early in Crete to SUNSHINE!!! The only place of interest in Crete (or more specifically the city of Heraklion) was The Palace of Knossos which is some old palace of some rich person. Our taxi driver dropped us off at 8 and promised to pick us up an hour later. 10 minutes later, still waiting in the queue, another taxi driver walked towards us with a cellphone in hand saying that our taxi man was ...
