Panagiotis and Anthony
|
After arriving in Athens, I went out to a disco and met a very cool med school student named Panagiotis. He, his cousin, and several friends were heading to the isles a couple days later and they invited me to join them. We spent an entire week on the isl

A site visitor told me the hotel's name is 'Syrou Melathron'. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

'Venice Beach' - Left
|
This photo and the next one make up the scene that greeted me every morning on the isle of Syros. Ten steps in front of my 19th century hotel, this is what the locals call Venice...

Mykonos Alley
|
I met an Argentinian fellow who thought I was crazy for taking this photo. But I was struck by the way the sunlight sparkles off the Mediterranean through the alley. In fact, I would often walk past this spot just to see the view during the four days I sp

Super Paradise Beach
|
Yes, that's the real name of this beach. It certainly lives up to its name, though. This was one of the clothing optional beaches (where you wish most of the people left their swimsuits on...). Even though access to the beach was by a small boat ferry, it

The Bell
|
The most beautiful sights greet you wherever your eye turns. Walking back from the market one day, I looked up and saw this sight. (Mykonos)

Mykonos Street
|
After the week on Syros with my new Greek friends, I took a ferry to Mykonos, one of the more famous Greek Isles. The young, the beautiful, and the rich come here to play. Needless to say, with my backback and scrubby clothes, I felt somewhat out of place

Old Man - Mykonos
|
I saw this solitary, traditionally dressed old man walking down this little street and was struck by the scene. No cars, no TVs, no computers, no electric wires -- this scene could've happened almost any time. (Mykonos)

The Entranceway
|
Walking on the path in Fira along the inner lip of the caldera, I had to pause in front of this house. The beauty of the entryway with all of the objects, the shapes, the sunlight on the white paint and stones reminded me of a postcard. (Santorini)

Fira
|
The main city on the isle of Santorini, thought by some to be the original location of Atlantis. Santorini is circular, being the lip of a giant underwater volcano. I walked on the steaming volcano in the center of the caldera. At the spot where I took th

Caldera View
|
One day I took a boat tour of the huge ringed island. The boat took us to this point almost directly across from Fira. High above the water, there's a little village with the most gorgeous view of the caldera. (Santorini)
