Flying through the night last Wednesday I arrived in Athens in the early hours of the morning and proceeded to catch a ferry to Mykonos. Why Mykonos? Because it's the one Greek island with a hostel open at this time of year! Still, most of the island was in hibernation, just waiting for the summer spate of tourist, but that didn't stop me admiring the beautiful views, and getting panda sunburn!
As it was winter the hostel was so quiet that the owner gave me a private room; I had my own tv, kitchen and bathroom, and a balcony from which I could admire the sunset!! :D

Heading back into Athens for the weekend (with occasional naps on the 5hr ferry trip) I visited museums, saw the sights,
and consumed tonnes of feta and olives, and violent amounts of sugar (in the form of various honey soaked 'pastries')!

And that, my friends, is Greece in a nutshell. For details of the less glowing report see spampage ==>
