      The band is back together

      July 1, 2023 in Greece ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      After a 40 hour journey from Sydney, we were so excited to have Keyala back with our traveling fam. It wasn’t without a little heart attack when Dale was waiting at the port and watched the ferry she was supposed to be on, depart without her seeing his ‘Keyala Curran’ sign made by Ari and him collecting her for her transfers via AT.V Turns out they walked past each other. Keyala went to charge her phone at the port cafe while Dale got the ferry staff to make an. announcement for her on the boat. They eventually found each other while Kylie and the girls were stressing at the hotel.

      Anyway. She’s back. We’ve eaten, swam and laughed together. And the girls have written a song… set to back street boys….

      Plongée dans la grotte de Panderonissi

      September 12, 2023 in Greece ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

      Hier soir, après une discussion sur le toit de l’auberge autour d’un verre de Ouzo avec deux irlandaises, nous apprenons que notre ferry du 13 septembre pour Athènes est annulé à cause d’une grève. Changement de plan en vitesse, on décide de partir de Paros plus rapidement que prévu, pour ne pas louper notre vol depuis Athènes pour Thessalonique jeudi matin. Ferry prit à 17h30. Mais avant de quitter cette île magnifique, j’avais (heureusement) booké une matinée de plongée. La plongée sous-marine étant ma passion dans la vie, je ne pouvais pas dire au revoir au Cyclades sans plonger dans ses eaux turquoises. Et qu’elle ne fut pas ma surprise, en presque 200 plongées, je crois que je tiens la meilleure plongée de ma vie pour le moment. Nous descendons à une trentaine de mètres de fond, pour pénétrer dans la grotte de Pendoronissi. Eaux limpides, faune et flore immaculée. Nous remontons à l’intérieur, pour mettre notre nez à l’air libre à l’intérieur de la grotte. Moment hors du temps où je suis littéralement à l’air libre mais à 30 mètres de profondeur. Des stalagmites de toutes les couleurs pointent vers moi. Je n’ai pas les mots pour tout décrire, je vais essayer de me faire envoyer des photos de cette caverne pour qu’elles parlent pour moi. Super rencontre aussi avec le couple Greco-Egyptiens avec qui j’ai plongé.Read more

      Day 4

      Paros/Antiparos

      August 17, 2022 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Wekker om 8u, toch wel weer te vroeg. Eigenlijk nooit echt goed doorgeslapen in vorig app. Vandaag wouden we eens gaan informeren om onze brommer in te ruilen vr een quad om dan richting ons nieuw verblijfje of appartementje te gaan.

      We nemen nog snel een ontbijtje in een bakkerijtje naast ons en vertrekken richting de rental shop. Voor een toeslag van 40 euro ruilden we onze tweewieler in voor een stoerdere maar vooral veiligere 4 wieler die ook als muilezel kon dienen zodat we comfortabel de overtocht konden maken richting Aliki (zuidwesten van Paros). Zo gezegd zo gedaan, valiezen vastgepind op onze flashy ride en wegwezen!

      Na een mooie rit van 25 mins komen we aan in “Anixis studios” waar een super vriendelijk dametje ons ontvangt en ons direct in ons app binnen laat. Snel installeren om dan eens richting de kite shop in “Pounta” te gaan informeren. Onderweg komen we een super cute smoothie bar/koffie barke tegen “Hello Mango” genaamd waar we even stoppen voor de dorst. De eigenaar is frans/grieks, super vriendelijk en weet ons te zeggen dat er deze dagen weinig wind is om te kiten en dat bovendien de eerste paar keer kiten eig niet super plezant is omdat je het nog niet goed kan. We bedenken ons dus want vrijdag zijn we weer weg en om geld te geven aan iets waar we wrs weinig plezier aan zullen hebben dan miss toch niet. We zullen dan wel eens iets anders van watersport doen!

      Dus we zetten koers verder richting Antiparos en rijden vlotjes de ferry op. 6 eurootjes vr een overtocht van nog geen 10 mins en we zijn gearriveerd. Lunchtijd. We passeren “beachhouse” waar we al van hoorden en beslissen het erop te wagen vr lunch zonder reservatie. We hebben chance! Aangrenzend hier is een klein strandje waar we ons installeren for some chilling and reading 🥸

      Om 19u beslissen we naar “sunset” te gaan, was ons door meerdere mensen aangeraden. We komen er toe op een idyllische locatie aan de rand van de zee met stoeletjes opgesteld alsof we in de cinema waren en de zonsondergang de laatste nieuwe film was. We bestelden er een flesje wijn en een paar kleine bordjes als avond eten en keken toe hoe de film zich afspeelde. Eens de zon onder was, zagen we de meeste mensen vertrekken wat eig wel jammer was want de locatie was zo gezellig en uniek, ze serveerden er Stella dus we dronken er nog een laatste. Op weg naar de ferry beslisten we om nog een tussenstop te maken in het centrum in “bougalou” en “doors”, cafétjes die ons ook waren aangeraden. Doors was echt een flashback nr de Ambiorix in Leuven met eveneens de leeftijd van toen 18-23 jarigen 😂. We beslisten er toch een pintje te bestellen maar de machine om met kaart te betalen werkte niet en we hadden 5 euro op zak. Goed vr 1 pintje dus om te delen. De eigenares had echter medelijden en offreerde ons toch nog een 2e pintje, super sympa!

      Dan was het plots bijna 1u en moesten we terug om de ferry te halen richting Paros. Ook hier weer entertainment. We checkten in en stonden klaar vr vertrek toen 2 jongens een meisje ondersteunden die nog amper van de wereld wist, scheel keek en haar poep liet zien door haar veel te korte kleedje. Ik gok dat het een UK girl is 😅. 10 mins later komen we aan op Paros en rijden we ligna recta door nr ons bedje!

      Morgen eens geen wekker!

      Tschuss 😘      Read more

      יום #4

      September 24, 2022 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      בוקר טוב וברוכים הבאים לעוד יום של רוח
      גם היום כמו בכל שאר הימים השבוע יש שמש חמימה ונעימה אבל רוח רעה (למי שלא גולש)
      בגלל שהרוח טיפלה השתפרה היום אז שי לקח אותי לסיבוב קשר והגליש אותי על גלשן
      את שאר היום העברנו בטיול באזור וגילינו חופים אפילו יותר שווים! בעיקר בגלל שיש בהם פחות רוח
      ניסינו להתפלח לחתונה על שפת המים - אירוע בין היפים שראיתי
      ואז לגלות הכותרת- הערב הקולינרי המוצלח שלנו
      נסענו לנאוסה עירייה יפיפיה עם נמל דייגים מקסים וכמובן כנסיה בכל פינה
      אני ושי אכלנו תירס רחוב מושלם
      לארוחת ערב עם כל המשפחה ישבנו במקום שהם קוראים לו הצועקת למזלי נגמר הג'ירוס אז אכלנו סופלקי
      ולגולת הכותרת -לוקומודס כדורי בצק מטוגנים טבולים בשוקולד! במילה אחת שלמות      Read more

      Day 72 - Paros, Greece

      September 19, 2023 in Greece ⋅ 🌬 24 °C

      Today we had breakfast at the resort before we headed off to see the centre of the island.

      We drove over to Lefkes, a small village near the centre of the island.
      Upon arriving 2 lovely young ladies couldn’t work out the road rules and were to the right of the road trying to turn left with no indication but their hands. I hardly saw their hands so proceeded to turn with another car. When we got down to park they proceeded to flip us off… I saw that! Us laughing about it probably didn’t help but it was funny!
      We walked through the village looking through a couple of local shops making our way through to the Holy Trinity Lefkes Orthodox Church. The church is mainly made out of local marble inside which is a site to behold, unfortunately no photos allowed.

      We walked around the houses in the village, this is like the other villages built to the Cycladic style with the white wash and blue roofs. We do like when we see houses with some render showing the existing brick underneath, gives it some more character.
      We ended up finding a local jewellery shop, Katie had soon found a necklace she liked and brought it.
      On the way out of the village to the parked car, we met a lot of the local cats that seemed to be well looked after and somewhat fixed which was good to see.

      We drove to a village nearby Kostas which we spotted from the main road, not a lot happening in this village. We gathered more locals live here seeing not many tourists around.

      The ancient marble quarries were a couple minute drive away. I don’t know what I was expecting but the cave in the hill was shut due to falling rock & ruins of houses with marble rocks laying around. I was expecting more of an open cut sort of quarry.

      Lunch was on Katie’s next hit list, so we drove to Paralia Krios beach. We treated ourselves to a lunch at Aroda resturant on the water. This was the best octopus I’ve had since being in Greece! (Shows you get what you pay for sometimes!)

      After lunch we got changed and headed for the beach to cool off. This beach is very sheltered from the Northerly winds, though it was more European than we bargained for… there were a couple of sites we saw along the beach for free.

      We went to the resort, I had a swim from our room. The ocean is really shallow here and there’s a sand bar further out, from there it proceeds to get deeper. After laying on the sun beds we freshened up and headed to a local tavern nearby. This food was nothing to write home about but we really stuffed the wine order up here! There’s was 1litre house wine (should of ordered that and left some) or 0.5l bottle that was fairly cheap, we opted for that. Little did we know this wine had a very strong rosemary taste along with other green herbs… well we learnt the hard way!

      We called it a night after this to get some rest for tomorrow.      Read more

      Parikia

      July 20, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Danes pa nabiramo moči za nadaljevanje potovanja. Dva otoka sta še pred nami in tukaj smo se odločili, da bomo izpustili “Dolino metuljev” in vasico Aliki. To naj bi še bilo za videt, po preučevanju pa smo se odločili, da bo današnji dan namenjen lenarjenju, kopanju in seveda hrani dobri.

      Kam pa jutri pravzaprav gremo? Na otok Ios.

      Ios je znan po čudovitih plažah in živahni zabavi in je priljubljena destinacija med mladimi! Čaka nas baje intenzivno nočno življenje, pa tudi plaže, slikovite vasice in še kaj se bo našlo.

      Sprehodili se bomo po tlakovanih uličicah Chore, glavnega mesta ... povzpeli se do gledališča Odysseus Elytis in morda obiskali tudi Homerjev grob.

      Večerja, dvo do trihodni meni sladic za našo gospodično, zda pa spat in jutri naprej na trajekt. Proti Iosu.      Read more

      Paros - Antiparos

      July 18, 2023 in Greece ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

      Grške počitnice se nadaljujejo. Zajtrk z mačkami, z Jack Russel terierjem Ninotom in potem se odločimo, da gremo pa danes na izlet na sosednji otok. Antiparos.

      Antiparos se nahaja v osrčju Egejskega morja, tik ob otoku Paros in spada v skupino otokov Kikladi. Kljub temu, da je tako blizu otoka Paros, Antiparos ni tako natrpan, vendar ima svetovljanski značaj. pravijo, da je idealen grški otok za sproščene počitnice stran od vrveža! In res je tako, saj ima eno glavno ulico in več “ne glavnih” :) in to je to.

      Otok je sicer znan po svojih plažah, zato je kopanje ena najboljših stvari v Antiparosu. Plaže so večinoma peščene s kristalno čistimi vodami, ampak naš nekaj urni iz.et na, ni dopuščal hoje, pa še sence ni kaj dosti.

      Chora, čudovita prestolnica Antiparosa, je kraj, kjer bije srce otoka in tudi tam, kjer leži večina hotelov, restavracij, barov in tavern. Chora se ponaša s tradicionalno kikladsko arhitekturo in je dom beneškega gradu in trdnjave. Tukaj smo se tudi sprehodili, posedeli, šli na dobro kosilo Georges grill souvlaki restaurant in potem nazaj na trajekt proti Parosu.

      Vozita sicer dva, en je kombinacija z avtobusom, drugi pa je direktni iz Parosa. Vzeli smo seveda slednjega, 7 eur na osebo v eno smer. Zanimivo je kako mojstri vozijo po vodi. Piha cel čas med 25 in preko 30 vozlov, vala dva metra, njih ne moti nič. Pot nazaj je bila celo bolj pestra, so nekateri že bledo gledali kaj se dogaja, ampak ni bilo nič strašnega. Počakamo, da se malo najhujše sonce poleže, se ohladimo na bazenu in zvečer na večerjo, danes na “meze”, da malo spremenimo tradicionalno izbiro grške hrane. Jutri pa spet raziskovati.

      Naxos - Paros - Naoussa

      July 17, 2023 in Greece ⋅ 🌬 29 °C

      Kar hitro letijo tile naši dnevi. Danes bujenje bolj zgodaj, ob 8.00 smo že na zajtrku in potem pot pod noge in do pristanišča. Počakamo trajekt in še zadnjič pomahamo v slovo Naxosu. Plujemo proti otoku Paros, kjer pristanemo v vročem, a vetrovnem vremenu. Parikia, glavno mesto Parosa in 700 m od pristanišča je naša mirna in super nastanitev “Casa di Roma”. Ker soba še ni pripravljena, nam ponudijo sok in kavo, spoznamo pa tudi vse živali, ki jih imajo in sicer Jack Russel terierja Nino, mačka mati z tremi mladimi igrivimi mucami. Seveda pa ob pogledu na lep bazen ne ostanemo ravnodušni. Soba sicer manjša, ampak lepo, vse belo modro, čisto in kopanje je obvezno, da se ohladimo.

      Kmalu se oglasi lakota in gremo proti mestu, najdemo super in poceni hrano (20 eur za nas tri s pijačo) ob morju. In da ne gre dan kar tako mimo, gremo še z avtobusom v vasico Naoussa.

      Naoussa na Parosu je čudovita slikovita ribiška vasica, ki se nahaja v ogromnem zalivu na severnem delu otoka, 10 kilometrov vzhodno od Parikie - glavnega mesta. Velja za eno najlepših vasi na Kikladih in dejansko je to nekaj izjemno fotogeničnega. Slike govorijo več kot besede in res je simpatično. Verjetno pa smo izbrali pravi čas, da smo to naredili popoldne, ker baje se zvečer ta vasica prelevi v nočni klub za maturante in je bojda samo zabava tam doma. Eva še kdaj morda, eni smo pa “kao” že prestari :)

      Po dveh urah se nehamo izgubljat po slikovitih ulicah in se vrnemo z avtobusom nazaj v Parikio. V trgovini si kupimo sadje, pijačo in na hlajenje v sobo, na bazen. Zvečer pa se še sprehodimo po Parikiji. Jutri pa spet nov dan, nov izlet.      Read more

      Day 1 Paros

      May 21, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Early start, up at 6am, quick breakfast, private transfer to Santorini Port.
      Quite an experience a very winding road, snaking down a sheer rock cliff to the Port.
      10.10am department on ferry to Paros via Naxos and Mykinos arriving at Paros Port at 1.20pm. Taxi to the hotel.
      Paros seems much quieter and less touristy.
      Not so the ferry!!!!! Absolutely packed.
      Getting on and off was like herding cattle. Not keen on ferries.
      Hotel is very comfortable, the room is spacious and the pool bar area is small but very quiet and private.
      Another four days of relaxation.      Read more
