We slept in past noon today, the first day we’ve done that. The weather got slightly better and more warm. We walked 15 minutes into the main town area to schedule our transportation to Athens. A 1 way flight would be 107 euros, but the travel agency gave us the option for a overnight ferry [...]

We arrived to the port around 7 pm, rented a small Hyundai for 25 euros a day from some major Greek hustlers. They also helped us arrange our accommodation stay at Fira Blue Horizon Guesthouse.

After some heavy bumps in the road, we never let the spirit get us down. We arrived at the Hotel Association of Renters at Old Port, and entered the room to a sweeter lady who asked us what we needed. We told her we prefered a home stay for 50 euros or less. She had [...]

What protest? What declining Economy? We haven’t felt one inch of that here in Mykonos. Well it certainly is the most popular island to visit in Greece. We have seen more Americans traveling in Turkey and Greece than anywhere I’d been. I’d say 65% of the people we’ve come across, along with Canadians, and Australians [...]
