Yria Resort Parikia

... 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 ...

... would have been preserved differently and not allowed to be washed over and covered by sand and silt. And so, on a micro scale if we could know exactly when we're going to go -- if we were told that absolutely, for sure, no doubt that in 2012 life ends, few of us would keep living our lives exactly as we are now. And so I've decided to (try to) live my life as though 2012 was the date. And when 2013 and 2014 come, I'll live my life like 2017 is the date. The point ...

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 !!)

... beach which should have been called the "Every step I take the rocks dig into my feet, BEACH" for a quick gaze around then onto the most awkward and sea sickening ferry over to Perissa beach where we did what you say??? PARASAILED!!! Actually, Tina laid out to work on her tan, Tara cried all the way out to sea, and Hilary laughed taking approximately 95 pictures along the way. Once we made it out far enough, the guides launched Hilary first into the sky where ...

... beautiful island with traditional windmills...a Little Venice village on the waterfront and turquoise clear water. There were soooo many senior citizen Americans on the islands coming off their huge cruise ships....am sooo not into the American accent! Yet another short stop at Mykonos to take another long ferry ride to Santorini - teaching greek boys my limited knowledge of card games...after being sooo bored of solitaire!

... wearing both of the hoodies that I brought with me as well as my long sleeve shirt just to keep the chill off. Santorini is exceptionally windy, being on a cliff and all. Today in Paros is a little bit warmer and I'm hoping to kill time in Mykonos by sitting on a beach in the sun. But it's been cold! I've been wearing the jeans that my guidebook told me not to bring every day. Mykonos is alleged to be a big party island, which is why I elected to spend the night here on Paros ...

... to visit the caves there. We spent the afternoon flat out on the beach, which was lined with tamarisk trees. The water is cystal clear and you can see the sandy bottom, but hell, the water is icy cold. Back to the main island and another homecooked meal, before heading out to see what the nightlife was like in Parikia. The weather is hot, sunny and things are starting to look up. No more disasters.
