I don't practice Santorini.....
For those of you who have heard of all of the beauty that encompasses the Greek Islands, you heard right!!!!! Santorini is a purely volcanic island and the kaleidoscope of colors that captures your eyes is simply amazing. The white washed homes in the villas along the cliffs are a perfect contrast against the turquise sea. It was a bit to touristy for us, but worth the 24 hour transit to get there, or was it? (1 hour bus ride to the 1st ferry, which was a two hour ferry ride to another bus, for 8 hours to a 30 min. bus to the metro,(45 min), to a 10 hour ferry ride to Santorini, to another bus( 30 min) to our final destination. We are still debating if it was worth it, we'll have to let the pictures decide.

We were then off to Ios, which has been considered the "party island" by many , many, many people. But, fortunatly (another topic of debate, he he he) for us we arrived during the slow season. We owned the island, it was the perfect oasis, and we actually found a place right on the beach for 20 euros a night!!!! Long lazy days on the beach (Sam finally got the courage to go topless), followed by long lazy nights on the beach, watching the brillant sunsets and playing Yahtzee until the candles burned out. This island was extremely romatic and gave us a well needed break from the hussle and bussle of travelling. No, it's not ALL fun and games people. We work very hard at: our tans, finding delicious places to eat, finding the "perfect" local beers, relaxing, swimming( it's exhausting!), walking around town, and loving eachother, well actually we don't work hard at that, it just comes naturally! We love all of you and miss you!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxox From the most Cycladic place on earth, Sam and Brad
