It was time to say goodbye to beautiful Santorini and hello to Ios. We arrived into Ios just after lunch and hit the beach for something to eat and some swimming as it was so damn hot! As soon as we arrived we noticed how quiet it was and over dinner that night we were told it was the end of season and that it had quietened down a fair bit in the last three weeks. As it was pretty quiet we looked into doing some water sports but they were all a little pricey exc...

There's nothing like a nice breakfast to start a great day. This morning I grabbed my first bacon and eggs on the trip whilst Bec enjoyed the Greek yogurt with fruit and muesli option. We were eager to get under way today as it was ATV time. After hiring out an ATV for the bargain price of €20 for the day we jumped on and went for a cruise around some of the sights we hadn't seen yet. We went through the vineyard roads, along the coastline finishing off at the...

The volcano we were standing on was active and as we walk...

Upon arriving we decided to organize our tickets for our ferry to Santorini in the morning and after being told the ticket shop would be closed to then being told it was open, we decided not to take any chances...

Bec was right she had no issues but me on the other hand walked in to a non-English Arab barber and walked out as a skinhead due the fact that '5 & 4 cuts' on a razor don't exist in France (he said but I think he was full of s**t) not to mention, he dropped his guts w...
