Nikolas Hotel Parikia

Delos is an incredibly interesting place. The entire island is a collection of ruins where no one is allowed to stay on the island overnight so everyone who visits are day trippers&#8212;most of whom are staying in Mykonos. It was an excellent day for exploring ruins at just over 60F degrees it was cool and pleasant. There is a lot to explore on the island so be sure to leave enough time to see it all.<br><br>There are no complete building standing, but ...

It&#8217;s a little cool outside for a party island that is famous for its nude beaches and all-night dance clubs. This is the first time that I wished we were visiting Greece during the tourist season since the town almost feels empty and the beaches deserted. <br> <br> This is ...

... divine. It's funny how two months ago I would hyperventilate every time I did the math and realized how close I was to turning 29, which is so close to 30, which is so close to 35, which is so close to 40... you get the picture. And I'd think, "I don't own a house, I'm not married, I don't know if I want kids, What do I want to do when I grow up? Who am I?" And now I think, "Enh, I'm me. That's all I need to be for right now. We'll see who I am when I get to 29 and ...

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!

... to eat. We picked a little place in the harbour and had a lovely meal Ian having lamb and I had Stifado was delicious then in the place we where they had a traditional Greek wedding taking place with live music and everyone was up doing the traditional dancers. The bride and groom had not arrived but they were due to arrive later I think we did not hang around and had a lovely walk back to the hotel and a long long sleep.

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 !!)

... is the most wild island to visit. I don't know if I can handle anymore fun than what we've been having. I'm not sure how we manage to stay out to 3 in the morning each night but it's easy here and waking up in the morning with the windows open and the breeze blowing through...it's hard not to start each morning with a big smile and wondering who we are going to meet next. Looks like my time is up. We will check back in when we get to Mykonos. Love, O & T

After skamming a free 50 euro ferry ride (even though I repeatedly told them I hadn't paid for my ticket yet!)...I left Turkey to sail over to Samos to transit before arriving at Mykonos island at 11pm - no accommodation booked and a zillion pension owners trying to get you to stay at their accommodation. Somehow I picked the accommodation with a crazy but loveable Greek lady who proceeded to tell me her life story as soon ...

... all high up on the cliffs so while the view of the water is stunning, you're not anywhere near it. There are no second floor apartments; everything is built into the cliffs. The main street that tourists see is actually the top of a very large pile of apartments and houses. The residential area is found in a maze of stairways leading up and down, most of which are lined with houses that look confusingly similar. I went to the same little cave place three times while I was ...

... day we caught a bus to the other side of the island, to a little fishing village called Nassoua. This is a very pretty fishing village. We wandered around the Marina. I love all the fishing boats bobbing in the harbour and the cobbled streets. I love wandering around and watching the fisherman bash the freshly caught squid on the rocks to kill it (and tenderise it?) before laying it out in ...
