The done thing on Santorini is to put the caldera in your eyeholes from every available angle. It's a volcanic island, there's volcanic craters on an island in the middle of the vast bay, and the shape of the bay itself was caused by a whopping great eruption, and that's the flooded caldera you've come [...]
It's like you can't have a really good experience on an island without it then being counteracted by the next. Santor-fucking-rini, honestly, what the actual fuck? We'd intended to stay at the campsite in Fira but the reviews were crap and we still had that shithole on Paros on our minds. So we went wayyyyy [...]
We woke up on the Sunday and decided to nope out of any manner of immediate movement. Fuck it, it's the Lord's day and she'd want us to be happy and anyway, we're on holiday. The campsite is slap bang opposite the beach so we lounged in bed (or on the inflatable mattresses that pass [...]
We really, really wanted to visit Delos, a super important archealogical island close to Mykonos. What we really, really didn't want to do was stay on Mykonos for two nights on account of it being obnoxiously expensive. The kind of expensive whereby you can only sob as you hand over anything north of €120 for [...]
Oh Naxos, you absolute dream! It's bigger than the other islands we've visited, more mountainous and dramatic with the kind of narrow, winding roads that trigger all manner of fear of heights as you climb higher and higher on your little scooter. Every curve, every hairpin turn is an act of faith. And steering, obviously. [...]
Well Paros didn't get off to the best start did it? We weren't originally going to come here but a last minute change of plan had us thinking fuck it, let's have a look shall we? The ferry crossing wasn't long, only a couple of hours, but the wind was insane. The crew handed out [...]
Us: I don't want to do any more hiking in Greece, it's too fucking hot. Also us: Shall we climb that fuck off big mountain over yonder? I say fuck off big mountain, it's about 640 metres and you drive most of that but it does look kind of intimidating from the ground and it's [...]
So Tinos turned out to be a bit of a highlight. I'm not sure what we were really expecting, we'd planned to rent a scooter (sorry, mum) and just sort of bum around a little bit, y'know? I'd found a list of some villages that people had said were nice so off we fucked to [...]
I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty sad to be leaving Athens but Greece is massive and we'd like to see a bit more of it. I can't get over the random bits of history they just have lying about the place. Like, you'll be walking along and you'll see an excavation and a board [...]
