Road trip!!
29 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
Big adventure for our last full holiday day!

Armed with our smart car and a relatively small island we were ready to explore! We started the morning at the Red Beach, not really a fantastic beach but the enormous red cliffs were a spectacular view! After a brief swim there we adventured on to the light house on the south west corner of the island! It was pretty awesome standing right out on the point and being surrounded by sea on almost all sides!

We then found an accidental Venetian palace that had a secret cafe inside which was an amazing lunch stop and they gave us a farewell shot of a caramel liquor! This was also where we learnt that salad kind of just means dip in Greece 😶

A quick shower and costume change later and we headed up to Oia, the North western point of the island, to watch the famous Oia sunset. To say that the people around we a bit feral would be an understatement but we again went full scuffed backpacker. We climbed right out in a rocky outcrop and had the most spectacular view of the sunset unimpeded by anyone (except the hens do on a yacht who had a stripper up the rigging dancing to 'it's raining men'). It was the most spectacular end to our big global adventure and we're getting ready to start our journey home tomorrow!Baca selengkapnya

Relaxed morning, lunch on the beach and then we hired a car 💀😵🚗
Despite being an automatic I (alfred) managed to stall it in traffic which was an adventure. But we set about using the car for its intended purpose: winery visits and walking up cliffs. Very useful.Baca selengkapnya

Drinking and driving (but not together).
28 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We once again started the morning by doing very little and then went to the beach for a swim and some lunch! We then hired a car 😶

We opted for a smart car which had an auto transmission because I was a bit nervous about driving... thank god we did! Alfred is a weapon behind the wheel of a shitbox!

Our first proper outing was to Santo Wines which does fancy expensive wine tastings, but we walked in the back door, cut to the chase and bought ourselves a bottle to take somewhere with our own view. After pretending to be influencers and getting some photos with the bottle.... We elected to hike up to a tiny chapel we had seen that over looks the whole of Perissa (the beach town we are staying at) and watch the sun go down from there with our wine. We miss judged slightly and the actual sun went down behind the cliff but we still saw all the colours and had a glorious time!Baca selengkapnya

We r influencers now sry
27 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We have arrived at influencer island and as all good influencers should we spent most of the day lounging on the beach. No photos sorry bc they're all for our sponsored posts 💸🤑 it's so hard being so famous and so influential...

In the afternoon we got the bus over to Fira to see the sunset and the pretty houses. This is when we realised we were maybe not quite cut out for the influencer life as we were not wearing enough white linen and I wasn't prepared to recline on/over the safety wall on the cliff to get my Insta photos. We returned instead to our scuffed backpacker roots and grabbed some chippies and beers from the supermarket and climbed up a ledge on a wall to get a view of the sunset away from the selfie sticks 🤠 it was way cheaper that the €20 cocktails that had a view 🍻

We elected to get the bus home and try the local restaurant next to our house for a late dinner which featured "the best pork [Alfred] has ever had in [his] life" and impeccable vibes !!Baca selengkapnya

A trip to Fira
27 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Another day swanning around Santorini.
We had a lovely time people watching while we sat and saw the sunset. I kind of thought the signs advising against walking on the cobbled streets in high heels were a joke - but no people really try it.
Also when we left for Fira at about 5pm was saw then setting up the grills at the restaurant next to our hotel - we got there at about 9pm for dinner and the grill was still firing. Very tasty.Baca selengkapnya

Naxos -> Santorini (last stop 😢🛑)
26 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We finally had a respectably timed ferry so after a cruisey morning which included some of the best coffees we've had since we left from Nikos, and Alfred getting crushed at Mastermind (despite the most outrageous cheating attempt I have ever seen) we made our way to a very chaotic port and onto our last ferry!

The ferry itself was the smoothest yet, we could look down for long enough to divide some baklava and we're getting really good at crosswords 🤓

We spent the afternoon at the pool in our hotel and enjoying happy hour(s) at a restaurant by the beach in Perissa. A very relaxed start to the last stop on our trip ((:Baca selengkapnya

Naxos old town and beach adventures
25 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
The busses leave very irregularly from Naxos to Alyko so we just ~had~ to get brunch in town to fill in the time 😶 we also went for a wonder through the old town which was not quite as cool as Ano Syros but was still really funky!

We took the bus to Alyko, an environmentally protected beach where sea turtles hang out (although we didn't see any 😔🐢) and there is a protected Cyprus pine forest. There was also a half built hotel from when a German company had started building without telling anyone and got caught half way through. It got jazzed up a bit when some famous street artists got together and did some murals all over the inside.

After our swims we got the bus home and made pasta and salad for dinner which we enjoyed on our little balcony for our last night in Naxos 🤩Baca selengkapnya

The scourge of the high seas

Happy Birthday Alfred !! (sort of)
We went on a day cruise on a catamaran to go snorkeling and swimming all over Naxos island today! I didn't get many photos because I was too busy snorkelling, lying in the sun on the catamaran and eating the Greek food that Tomas and his sailing pal kept whipping up for us! We stopped at 3 different places and only worried Tomas once because we went for a fish finding adventure a little too far from the boat for his liking 🤠

There were some very strange people on board but all very lovely and we had a fantastic day sailing around. Since we had technically spent no money today we went to a rooftop restaurant in the old Venetian castle for dinner. The food was amazing but very "experiential" as Alfred put it. The Greek salad had whipped feta and cucumber sorbet with the tomatoes - weird but surprisingly good!Baca selengkapnya

Ferry Syros -> Naxos
23 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
After waking up early for our ferry, it was an hour late and we'd been told to get there an hour early... we were sleepy and not happy campers 🙃 it was not as comfy as the fast ferry but less rocky so 🤷🏼‍♀️

We arrived in Naxos and figured out the busses to get to our acom and patted ourselves on the back because the place is maybe the nicest so far! We have a little balcony and Niko is the most enthusiastic host ever! Alfred picked out an amazing spot for dinner and afterwards we walked up to the Temple of Apollo. It may also be the temple of Dionysus - historians are unsure as it was never finished and all that is left is the door looking straight out into the Aegean 🤩Baca selengkapnya

Alfred Wilson and the Accidental Alcohol
22 Agustus 2023, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
We spent the day at a new beach in Possidonia called Komito Beach. It was very windy and everyone was playing beach tennis which was okay until the guys that were bad at it hit a ball right over our tzatziki 😰
We decided to get granitas for the walk back to the bus and somehow mine was just a granita but Alfred's really leaned into the vodka flavour. The bus trip home was not a great one for alfred 😔 so we had to get an emergency ice cream before we walked back up to Ano Syros to revive him.

We went back to the Meze place from the first day for dinner and tried a few other dishes! Then we got some Greek donuts (very yum 11/10) and ate them on an abandoned balcony with a view right down to the water!

It was the time for bed before an early ferry tomorrow 😴Baca selengkapnya
