Petinos Hotel Plati Gialos

... 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. <br><br>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&#8217;t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

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!

Taxi to Piraeus quay where we were greeted by the Holland America staff and after waiting a short time in a huge marquee we were very efficiently processed by their affable team and soon boarded the MS Rotterdam. How exciting! <br>Once on board we were directed to the Lido floor where we sat and chatted with another Australian couple on their first cruise. The foretaste of what was to come in terms of ...

... 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 !!)

... small items, where the very friendly owner invites us in for a sampling of some surprisingly smooth home made local fire water called Summa. 20 Oct - Since we are staying put in Naoussa to ride out the storm coming later in the evening, we decide to make the most of our time here and hire two cars to go exploring the island. It certainly doesn't look like a storm this morning! Our first stop is the main town and port of Parakia, which has a number of sights ...

... scrubby survivors, and even the chalky earth looked like it had been put through the wringer by its solar sister. To be frank, we weren't terribly overwhelmed at that point by Santorini's legendary beauty. By the time we reached the water, we were damn well ready to get in. But, in a remarkable display of delayed gratification, Steve postponed his entry for several minutes whilst he inflated his new floaty toy, purchased in Turkey specially for our honeymoon sojourn ...
