Poseidon Hotel - Ios

... beers. Noma decided to have rissoles and I had mousaka. yum! Sitting there looking out over the water something jumped out right next to the sore..... We had a short little discussion and decided it was a 6ft shark. no swimming on that beach for us! Only kidding... I actually think it was someone throwing stones into the sea but Noma wasn't having any of it!<br><br>So we retired back to the room and caught up on some sleep again. And boy did we need it! We eventually woke up ...

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!

A much more sensible pickup time of 9.45am this morning, saw Spiros drive us to Athens airport in another lovely Mercedes taxi. It took only 30 minutes in light Sunday morning traffic which was a pleasant change from the Athens city congestion typical of a place where 5 million people are endeavouring to get around, appearing every now &amp; then to try to do so at the one time!<br><br>While waiting for our flight, we had a quick look ...

From Santorini to Ios we took the Flying Cat 4 for 18EUR and it took about 30 minutes. I wish I could remember the name of the hotel we stayed at. The owner came to the port to pick us up. We stayed in Milapatos Beach. The room was nice...clean and we had a great balcony that overlooked the beach. The ...

... fruit and vegetable stores, which are all quite good and cheap. <br><br>We had breakfast in one of the many cafes on the square and began to plan today's itinerary. We decided to rent an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) aka a quad bike for us to explore the island and started walking around the village to find a bike rental shop. Found one at the fringe of the village &#8211; Lignos Stelios ...

... would have put on more appropriate footwear. At the end of our journey, my poor beautiful beaded slippers I bought from Bali <br>were totally destroyed!<br><br><br>From Vorina Bay to Chora (Hora): <br><br>We stayed for quite some time on this beach as we were rather tired from all the climbing. Climbing upwards to the road level was harder than going down. By the time we reached the road, it was already early ...

... up the main street around 2am and had our own walking pub crawl because most of the bars don't have cover charge. By the end of the night we had closed 2 bars and left the 3rd around 6am, stubbling our way back to the hotel!!!!! The first bar we shut down was a lot of fun, it played good canadian/american music that we knew, so we had our drinks and danced till 5am when they closed, not before playing 2 U2 songs just for us.

... going to force myself to learn a couple more languages. OK, that's a little bit for ya'll. There's a line for the computer, and I'm getting the scary eye from some Canadiens. So I have to go. But I love and miss ya'll. I miss ZTejas and soccer and my music and my dog (thanks again Erica) and rockclimbing and Austin and Lone Star beer and the hot tattood bartenders in Jackalope. Cheers everyone and I'll try and write again soon.

... island of ios, which has a reputation for partying. i should've gone to ios first, because the last 2 days of my vacation all i want to do is relax and get ready for round two of law school... not party ibiza-style. anyway, the beach here is nice, there is actual sand - but i have a feeling they ship it in because the bottom of the ocean is still rock and when you swim you don't get all sandy in every body crevice. the main village of chora is absolutely adorable ...

... game, the second that game ended, there was silence. It was eerie. On a related note, the night Australia clinched its way into the knockout phase there was a blackout on the island -- and it couldn't have come on a better night. Australia played a late match, so all the drunk Aussies came out to celebrate instead of turning in for a nap never to emerge again. The whole night had a certain energy to it, but once the power went out, everybody left the bars they were in and poured into ...
