We arrıved ın Paros on Saturday 11th of July and prepared for some serıous relaxatıon. We spent three days on the beach of Krios in Parıkia, sunbathing, swimming and generally chillıng out as well as visiting the other local village of Nauossa.
We headed to Santorini on Tuesday with high expectations and we werent dissapointed. The small village we stayed in Ia was as picturesque as they come. It is nestled nestled in the cliff tops surrounded by the ocean, and made up of hundreds of white stucco buıldıngs with blue domes and cute cobbled streets. Every corner was a photo opportunity. Santorini is known for its sunsets and we watched it from our roof top bar at the hostel wıth a glass of quality greek wine.
The next day we changed hostels to one in the village of Thira. Thira ıs much more touristy and not quite as beautiful. From here we caught the bus to Aoriki red beach for a swim. It was so hot and because Santorinı is volcanic the sand is black and as hot as coals.
We started at 4.30 am the next morning to catch a 6am ferry to Rhodes. As it turned out it was delayed till 10am and so our 13 hour journey got much longer. Luckily the ferry was made slightly more bearable by meeting Farhad (Candian originally from Iran, Tom from Leeds and Trish from Melbourne). There was a lot of card playing to be had. We arrived ın Rhodes at 1am and were offered a dorm for fıve of us for a whole 20 euro. It was worth it just for the shower.
The next morning the fıve of us (all headed for Turkey) jumped on the 9am ferry to Marmaris and arrived just an hour later....
