Ios

From Santorini we got another ferry to Ios. A smaller less populated island with the reputation for being a party island. We had a little too much Ouzo on our first night and didnt have a drop the rest of our time there.

The view of Milopotas Beach from our bungalow.

We again hired a scooter for a day. They seem to get smaller each island.

Church in the capital, Hora.

The beaches at the islands are amazing, and the water is so salty that you pretty much float. They dont have lifeguards here, I guess they dont really need them.

The town itself is like a little maze, it is quite easy to get lost here.

I mentioned that the temperature seemed to increase everyday that we were in Athens. That trend has continued, and it is only now that we realise that we are in the middle of a heat wave and that there are bushfires throughout greece. We only had a ceiling fan in our bungalow, so spent most of our days lying in the shade by the pool to escape the 47 degree heat as much as possible. I ended up with heat rash/stroke, where was Dad and his airconditioners?!

A long way from Ios to old Sydney Town.

When you get off the ferries you are grreted by all these people trying to get you to stay at their places. they all yell trying to get you attention.
