Paradisia Villas Hotel Naxos

... close to the marina that has music coming from it. I ate a lamb dish for dinner and since the Greeks eat dinner very late in the day and will frequently make an evening of it, it wasn't until close to 11 PM that we left the taverna.

I went back to the yacht to dress in my club clothes and to go to one of the few dance clubs that remained open over the winter. Although it wasn’t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

... 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.

... were white! The sky was clear blue! Vendors were yelling! The smells of slouvaki were everywhere! It felt like we were at our Summer Fair!

We walked around the port and did some browsing in the store front shops and street market, occasionally being enticed to view local Greek Nike t-shirts! Being seasoned shoppers, we avoided eye contact and only took interest in an item if we were truly ...

... Unfortunately we were not so lucky this time, no comfortable couch. We were up on deck which was fine except for the fact that pretty much every Greek smokes and smoking seems to allowed everywhere.. even inside the bus terminal which is where I am sitting at the moment.. it's disgusting and it's making me feel sick!! We are about to board an overnight bus to Corfu where will continue on to Italy via ferry. (hopefully.. if all goes to plan.. which hasn't really been happening lately!)

... philosophy. It's quite a common practice for bars in Greece to use cheap local moonshine in cocktails and mixed drinks and its really bad news. Its black market alcohol and not only does it give you a nasty hangover but it comes with the added danger of the possibility you could go blind from drinking too much of it. You might think I'm over reacting but I can say with hand on heart that the words I'm expressing are completely accurate. Not only are bars ripping you off in the ...

... place called Plaka, the entire area in and out and along this part of coast line which was packed with 'sun worshipers', hotels, tavernas, beach chairs and umbrellas. What really was strange (but nice also) was the network of tracks were not sign boarded and no direction is indicated of where you are going or how to get out - it's all guesswork. What makes Naxos different than any other island we have visited is that there is nearly ...

... fried and did i mention they eat them whole!!! we had a couple of other pieces of fish in our big fish platter but none that compared to the Fyshwick Markets!!! The highlight was making friends with the owner, Gregory, who gave us free wine and enough kisses on the cheek to last us all a life time. We are off on Sunday to Athens for an overnight stopover then London for an over night stopover then Dublin for 2 nights then we say goodbye to Alex and start our 28 day tour.

Greetings from the European Union! One thing is for sure, we already miss the Turkish Lira. I am writing from our very charming hotel in Naxos, the largest of the Greek Islands. We left Turkey on a high note with our exciting Turkish carpet purchase and a free dinner from the man who sold it to us. We left bright and early on a 2 hour ferry to Samos, the island closest to Turkey. Unfortunately, that day, yesterday, was the worst day of our vacation - something we ...

How on Earth did I get to be so lucky?

My family and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands. We ate a lot, got sea sick once, soaked up the sun, and absorbed the classically beautiful white and blue colours on the islands. There weren't very much ship activities that my sister and I were interested in but Allyson and I did win a bingo game! Mykonos was by far our favorite island because of its beauty.
