30 degrees!!! I haven't had 30 since we left oz, but today that all changed. It's lovely to feel a nice warm day again, actually we were all feeling it. We left our apartment about 11am & wandered down the hill towards Athens. We found a cab & got him to drop us in the main area of Plaka. Here we wandered through the lanes before stopping for a late breakfast/ lunch. Following this we decided to get the big one out of the way & headed for the Partheno...

And so it was that our island adventures had come to an end. It will be hard to say goodbye to this lifestyle, but all good things must end. Not that we are heading off to something boring & mundane, far from it, just doing something different. I think we came at a good time too, before the high temperatures hit & before the droves of tourists arrived. There still were a lot of tourists around though. The amount of foreigners on 4 wheelers zipping around ...

Our last full day in the Greek Islands today, that's pretty sad, but we were prepared to make the most of it. Needless to say it was another nice day, top of 27 I think, with a slight breeze. Well it was going to be a day at the beach so we arrived at Super Paradise Beach at about 11.30am. I'm not kidding, that was really the name. Now it wasn't quite as good as Paradise Beach we visited on the second day, but it was pretty close. We hired some sun lounges & ...

Another warm day, another windy day. Mid morning we ventured down the hill to the beach close to us. We didn't go where all the litter was, we moved around the point a little. Here we found a secluded spot which was well maintained & had a quick swim as there was no shade to protect us. After a nice splash around we went north west to explore the beach of Panormos but this was pretty crowded so didnt even get out of the car. We continued through some laneways...

Probably our warmest day in Mykonos today, a nice 27 degs. We headed to Elia beach on the south of the island. It was only 11.30am but had already reached it's maximum temp. We went for a refreshing swim for 20 mins or so but then decided to move on. Most of the beaches have bars with sun lounges & big straw umbrellas set up. These guys wanted €5 for each bed & we didn't really want to pay that. There was no other shade around so we jumped in the car &a...
