Three Lakes Naxos

... are still many columns as well as some interesting mosaics. Even with what remains, there is enough to get a good idea of what the island would have been like in its heyday. The best know sculptures on the island are a row of lions. <br><br>We anchored within the Bay of Delos and returned in the afternoon for lunch aboard. After we finished exploring the island, we boarded the yacht and returned to Mykonos for the evening. We went to shore and found a ...

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 ...

I love the fact that I'm sick. Not in an, "Oh, what fun to be sick!" way, but in an, "Expectations will get you every time!" way. I am still really, really enjoying the cruise. But I think the theme of the trip is undoubtedly learning to embrace whatever comes your way even when it's not exactly what you thought it was going to be. I assumed I would be spending the entire cruise sunbathing, getting a deep, dark, golden tan and boozing like a sailor. Instead I've been ...

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!

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 !!)

... last few nights. <br><br>We all suspect that Irene, the old Greek owner, had a crush on me. I was the only one of the five who she attempted to speak to, and she also randomly gave me cups of cold juice twice during our stay. We determined that my tan, bearded Mediterranean look is a big hit with the local women.<br><br>We spent the rest of the day laying out by the pool and exploring the Naxos town, which was just a short walk from our pension. We cooked ...

... looking taxi drivers that would pounce on you out of nowhere and patiently wait on the bus. When it arrived we boarded and I made no efforts at one last look around to say goodbye, something I have always done when leaving other places around the world. As I put my arms around Heather I held her head so the driving motions of the bus wouldn't jerk it around and she could fall asleep comfortably, deep in my own thoughts I tried to sum up the experience in Greece. Paros will always ...

... and as we were driving around there was this french backpacking couple who we found walking on the side of the road with their huge backpacks, no water, and wearing flip-flops... they had been planning on walking the 3kms to the port... so we drove them instead. I know I would have died in the heat with my backpack walking for 3kms!! We spent the eveningslaying on our balcony and looking for shooting stars... it was awesome ...

... and read. Do some laundry and drink some beer. It's a wonderful relaxing time. After 6 we venture out to do some shopping or perhaps walk through town. We go for incredible cocktails or have some dinner. We are served Ouzo, which we refuse (also not Greeklike but I just can't do it) and we wander our way home around 11pm to do it all again the next day. Do you see why we haven't had time to do the internet blogs? Our only free time is siesta and everything is ...

... Anzac...I dunno if any of you will ever been thinking of taking an Anzac Day tour any time in the future but one word of advice just in case you are...STAY CLEAR OF GO ANZAC TOURS!! They are the dodgiest tour company around! Towards the end I really believed that the two guides we had had kidnapped our actual guides and were holding them hostage somewhere...coz these guys REALLY didn't give the impression that they had ever even been out to Gallipoli before! There were a ton ...
