The Greek Islands

Here are some photos from our recent trip for you to enjoy. This is Mykonos.


This is Kusadasi, Turkey where we made a stop.
We bought some great leather goods here.

View from the town of Lindos, Rhodes


We climbed slippery marble steps to reach the Acropolis in Lindos


I fell in love with this view of the town of Agios-Nikolaos, Crete from the window of our cabin on the ship.


This is a beach in Agios-Nikolaos on the island of Crete

I love #3 and the last one. Sigh. I think you'd have a hard time dragging me away... Was it hard to get around language wise?

Mmm it was very hot, but a dry heat as opposed to humid which was better, I think. My bones didn't seem to hurt.

Japra, good question. It seems that all the young Greeks speak English, not so much the older ones. We had no trouble communicating, except for the odd restaurant with all Greek menus, which we bypassed. 'Kalimera' means good morning, I learned something!

I remember Kudasi well. You really got to see a LOT! Lucky you!
