Greek Islands

GREECE | Tuesday, 29 July 2014 | Views [336]

My island hopping is coming to an end. I've got a 1 am boat to Kos island later today, from there it's about an hour ferry ride to Turkey. I visited three islands in nine days, Sifnos, Paros and Santorini. All were very nice with beaches, bars, restaurants and beautiful scenery. It was pretty pricey and crowded, I guess it is the height of the tourist season. The trip didn't start out very well, I got off the boat at the wrong island. I'm walking around town asking people for directions to my hotel, that's when I found out I was on Serifos not Sifnos. As screw ups go this one turned out pretty well. It cost me four hours and $10 to get to the right Island. I'm not much for laying on the beach, I did a lot of walking around and rented a scooter on Sifnos and Paros Island. The scooters are a good deal $20 for a 24 hour rental. It was a fun way to explore the islands.

If I had it to do over again I probably would spend two nights on each island instead of three. I took a lot of pictures, truly spectacular scenery.

A quick recap. I visited 19 countries in 212 days, traveled 46,000 miles by air,15,000 miles by land and spent about $25,000. My feet got beat up a few times and I twisted my ankle a couple of times.  No plane, train, car, bus, tuk tuk or taxi mishaps, not even a fender bender. I wasn't threatened or harassed and amazingly enough I didn't lose anything. It's hard to believe seven months have passed. As I said in my first entry.....a wonderful way to celebrate 60 years of living. It sure was!
