Aahhh. The final instalment of our Greek Islands summer. The last 2 weeks were spent on Kimolos and Paros - both in the Cyclades but very different to each other. Kimolos is a small island with only 1 village and a permanent population of 600 hundred people, and donkeys are still used to get around. Paros, is a big island - huge in comparison. It has a full blown tourism industry with ferries coming and going all day. It has hundreds of restaurants and so many things to keep you entertained...

Part Two of our Greek Islands adventure in the Cyclades. It started with a quick trip to the island of Kythnos, exploring the small whitewashed villages. From there it was on to Milos, an island that for us was all about the beach. It is a volcanic island with rocks of every different colour and spectacular coastal scenery. We stayed in a tiny but amazing fisherman's hut on the beach that was only a metre from the water. At times the waves would crash against our front porch...

Our first 2 weeks in the Greek Islands didn't disappoint. We spent our time between 2 different islands - first Skopelos in the northern Sporades and then Kea in the Cyclades. Both were quite green (as far as greek islands go), both had delicious food and beautiful views over the water. We stayed with family and friends and spent much of the time under water or eating Greek delicacies. It is hard not to relax in a place like this...
