First thing I would be doing is making plans to relocate from Detroit. There is nothing like coming back home from vacation to a city you love. Absolutely priceless.

 

... been trying for 18 months.. still working on it.. lol..

 

Switch it up and try a different way if necessary. Just don't slack off or get discouraged. Sometimes things take longer than you plan for; no big deal. Hit the gym to maintain a high level of energy and you will always be up for any challenge.

 

Once you hit Athens and after you've visited the haunting historical monuments, swing by Piraeus and take your pick of the Islands.

Please make sure you hit Santorini, which is the absolute closest thing to heaven on earth..



(it's also one of the furthest from the mainland, but the boat ride usually includes Swedish tourists
who love to sunbake topless on the deck, so you should be occupied ; -)

The sand is made up of volcanic ash....





Rhodes is beautiful also, the beaches are gorgeous.










Ios is the party island, so enjoy. (not worth staying overnight)



Rehab Nightclub in Ios








TBC.......

 

...continued...


Mykonos is lovely with its landmark windmills, but it is a popular gay attraction. (dont let that stop you, lots of hereto's too!)

I didn't hit Crete, but I know people who have and say it's a must see.

 

Awesome insight Bliss!

 

LOL, and I didn't mention the incredible Mediterranean food!...and 'opium' 'infused ouzo'... :smt030

 

Pls proceed the floor is all yours! :grin::grin:

 

Agreed!

 

Ha, true Tam, the thread starter does seem like it's troll-sakkakan redux. Hmmm!

I actually searched your Nature thread for pics I had posted of Santorini to link them here, but couldn't find them through the many pages.

I forgot about the Greek women thread, thanks for the reminder :smt052 Great Idea on a Greece thread, I just may do that... lots of antiquity, mythology, food, sun and God worship, as well as ties to Africa and western civilization to cover. :smt023
