Back in Batsi
Another late night arrival in Andros. Michaelis and his taxi was waiting at Gavrio port having been sent by the delightful Maria from Villa Nefeli in Batsi. 10 minutes later Batsi fell into view. A noisy first night followed due to traffic noise (the apartment was right on a main highway) and an eerie green… Continue reading Back in Batsi
At home in the home of Hermes
Grown up Greece without the price tag. The departure from Paros was fraught. I woke up to a text informing me the afternoon ferry was cancelled due to technical issues. The only other ferry that day was at 9pm that evening. In the end it departed Paros at 00.50 at night. I expected Syros to… Continue reading At home in the home of Hermes

Delightful Delos
An early start by holiday standards. A frappe on the harbour, some shenanigans with cash and a ticket purchase and we were loaded onto a boat bound for the historic island of Delos. Delos is an ancient archaeological island 30 minutes by boat from Mykonos Town. It is uninhabited apart from around 30 archaeologists who… Continue reading Delightful Delos
