Beaches

Definitely one of

Our favorites, and we

Have been to many! Therma beach on Kos has a nautical hot spring. At first we thought we were crazy to go to a there on a 89 degree day, but Med here is actually a bit cool, and the warm spring waters felt wonderful. It was a bit of a hike to get there from the bus stop and we both appreciated the sign for Donkey rides to the springs.

Greek Cats

We have decided there are more cats in Greece than tourists

Have yet to have dinner in a restaurant

Without a cat under our table

This of course has turned into a joke

"welcome to wendy's can I take your order"

"I'll have a cheese burger"

"and how many cats would you like with that"

Rhodes

Of course he wanted it!

Island hopping

After a week of island hopping, we seem to have found our groove. Show up

At the ferry five minutes before it leaves but ignore the guy who tells you to add your bag to the massive pile of backpacks on the car deck, Spend 6 euros at the cafe so you have a 

Nice place to sit and then avoid fhe crush of Greeks who line up to depart first anf instead stay seated until the boat docks.We are on our way to Kos, just a short 2 hour ferry from Rhodes. It's the first room we have booked thru airbnb

How things have changed. 25 years ago when I was here, you had to fight off the room touts when debarking the ferries. Now everyone uses booking.com

At the Archeology Museum in Crete

Me-"Nick what do you think this room is for

Nick-"They are waiting for the return of the Elgin Marbles'

LOL

"When in Rome..." or Greece'

Last Morning Athens

The view from the balcony of our hotel room! The room was small, and it was the first time We had ever seen a triangular shaped bathroom, the view of the acropolis was fabulous! We are on the ferry this morning bound for Crete. Nicks observation of Athens was it was just like San Francisco. 

Day 2-The Acropolis, of course!

It's all "All Greek to Me"

Here We are

Nick an I-in Athens

This is the cover from our menu at the restaurant we choose on our first night

We could have gone to one of the many touristy places that line the streets of the plaka where we are staying, but of course we searched out a small "mezedhopolieo" off a side street. It was a delicious ending to a s busy day. 

The adventures continue!
