Amorgos is a hiker’s paradise

25 Feb 2013

You will feel like you’re on top of the world while hiking on Amorgos. This particular trail leads from Egali to Chora along what’s called “the spine of Amorgos”     Start points for many of the hiking routes on Amorgos are well-marked by signs. This one even shows the approximate walking times to the [...]

19 Jun 2012

Things I love about Greece: Waking up to gorgeous views at hotels in the Greek Islands (Part 2)

05 Jun 2011

I loved the views of Thirassia island (left) and Skaros Rock (right)… … as well as the sunsets we could watch from our private balcony at Grotto Villas/Cliffside Suites in Firostefani village on Santorini   Musical rooms: I could describe our 2006 holiday as “Goldilocks goes to Greece,” because that was the vacation during which [...]

Things I love about Greece: Waking up to gorgeous views at hotels in the Greek Islands (Part 1)

03 Jun 2011

On our very first morning in the Greek Islands back in 2004, we were awestruck by this view from our balcony at the Myconian Ambassador Hotel on Mykonos   Va-va-va-view: On our first-ever trip to Greece, we arrived at Mykonos after nightfall and didn’t have a clue what kind of view we would get from [...]
