Mikro village Hotel Agios Nikolaos

Somehow wherever I am on holiday I think about Mark. Perhaps it's because you notice couples holding hands on the beach or it's just part of the holiday romance ...

In this hotel my family and another 3 foreign family were attacked by thief's over the last night just few hours to go home, I was more than disappointing about the security in this place, about the reaction of the authorities and also the attitude of the hotel manager. The police has no reaction and the hotel manager doesn't want to get in contact with me when I informed about the theft , latter one when I succeed to get his e-mail address he went to the Police ...

We are pooped!!!!!<br><br>We have been hard core sight seeing since Bologna and are so tired that nothing impresses us any more and we no longer have any desire to look at anything. Luckily this is a nice place with a swimming pool, just what we need to rekindle our energy. Our hotel is nice, one of the nicest we have had on the whole trip and it still cost only 80 Euro's. That's what happens ...

... no walls of defense, and may have been ruled by queens of the Minoan dynasty. There is a possibility that the "boys and girls" were sent as young couples to repopulate the palace and life was so good that they stayed. As it is an island, they were never heard from again and people developed a story about the Minotaur to explain why the people never returned.<br> Otherwise, we spent the rest ...

Just finished reading Portraits by Cynthia Freeman. Makes me feel even more grateful for my family. I must be one of the luckiest girls around to have a family who love and support me.

Went out to dinner last night. Nicky &amp; Graham had given us a lovely card which us a great trip and £40! for us to spend so that we at least are able to go to dinner once - so that's what we did. We walked down to town. It's a pretty place build around teh bay with here and there a fisher's boat resting in the sea. Seeing all the restaurants we were afraid (well that's not really the right word but you know what I mean) of being hassled by every restaurand emplyee ...

... apartement. But at last -we didn't think we would ever get there!- we arrived there and sat down exhausted, dripping with sweat, at the pool dipping our feet in the lovely cool water. I almost, almost, jumped in it with all my clothes on and all! After a few minutes Eve decided to get busy and clean the pool and tried to get bugs and leaves out of it with a fsihing net. When back at our aprtment we ...

The sun going down over the moutains, the soft hush of the air conditioning, a beautiful view over Agia Pelagia and kittens playing under the olive trees. We arrived at our villa. We are still wet from the swimmingpool and smell of chlorine. It is more ;like a holiday so far eventhough it was quite a feet to get here. <br><br>Being 'hassled' by taxi drivers as soon as we ...

... they were less war-like than the Mycenaeans or because of the explosion of Thera in 3500BCE or even some other cause. Archaeologists aren't sure of the exact reason. Some evidence exists to suggest that the explosion of Thera didn't eliminate the civilization all at once, but the subsequent lack of summer growing seasons because of volcanic dust would have spelt disaster to a large population centre. However it happened, the Mycenaeans, with ...
