Kalafatis Beach Special: The Waiting Dog

Just when we were about to leave the beach, I saw a man dragging his canoe to the water while his dog was hopping around him with excitement. 

Alright, the story goes on below. Happy viewing!!!

The beginning

Kalafatis Beach, Mykonos

Kalafatis Beach is one of the earliest established beach at Mykonos, but it's more famous for its water sports. For tourists like us, we didn't get much to know the premise more, all we had was just about 30 minutes of sightseeing tour. Besides enjoying the scenery of the beach, we also took the chance to grab ourselves some Greek frappe and cappuccino from Thalassa Restaurant and sip them slowly under the hot sun.

Happy viewing!!! 

I assumed it's 12 Euro per "seat"...

Greek Trip 30/05/12: Mykonos

My first impressions on Mykonos was, the places seems a little "flat" if compared to Santorini, which were built along the cliff of the coastal area. Mykonos doesn't have much high ground though, and the first place that we arrived was Chora Port, and along Chora port there lies "Little Venice" where the buildings were stood less than 3 meter from the seaside.

This post is covering our destinations from Chora Port to Boni's Mill, and to Agios Ioannis.

The rest of the photo-stories shall be posted soon. Happy viewing!!!

Greek Trip 29/05/12: An Unforgettable Evening At Santorini

夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏。That's a Chinese proverb saying that "a setting sun is utmost beautiful, unfortunately it does not last." That's how I felt when we about to leave the beautiful Santorini while enjoying the iconic sunset on our way to get our cable car.

Well, I'll leave the rest of the stories through my photos. Hopefully I can come back here to know you more, Santorini.

Mykonos will be posted after this, stay tuned. Happy viewing!!!

Santo Wines, Santorini

The clock was ticking towards evening time, and we had moved to another place called Santo Wines. There we had our Greek style dinner where they served authentic Greek Food. Guess what, it was our first encounter with Greek food. The verdict? Well, for the food that's served with meat, it tasted good. However the vegetable ones tasted quite weird, as mint was being added as one of the ingredients. Overall Greek food was okay for me.

There we also experienced ourselves with Greek dance performance, played along was the music, Zorba The Greek. After we finished our dinner, tasted some wine, bought some souvenirs, then we called it a day by heading back to Oia to get a cable car ride.

Happy viewing!!!

Oia, Santorini

Oia (pronounced as ee-ya) is an architectural picturesque town, and famous for its unique Venetian houses which were drenched in bright white color under the blue blue sky. Along the cliff of Oia are the remaining houses that survived from a large volcanic eruption many years ago which eventually sunk the center of the island.

Oia is surrounded by the ever blue Aegean Sea and remains as one of the popular tourist attractions. Oia looks amazing under a clear blue sky, but whenever the sun is setting, it turns to a even more beautiful paradise on earth that words can hardly describe. Well, I guess we were lucky enough to "witness" the sunset of Oia just before we got back to our cruise.

However, I shall only post some sunset scene right after this album. Hope you enjoy the photographs.

Happy viewing!!!

Greek Trip 29/05/12: Γεια σας Santorini

Γεια σας means "Hello" in Greek, and it's pronounced as "Yea Sou".

Long before I stepped my feet on Santorini, I've already seen lots of pictures on Santorini itself, and the signature colors, are none other than White and Blue.

And now, finally, I was here at Santorini. Call myself a little lucky and extremely excited to be here and explore the world-renowned tourist attraction by my own. 

Well, this post is mainly on boat tendering from the cruise and having a panorama view on Santorini coast from up above.

Full feature on Oia will be posted after this, thank you for stay tuned.

Happy viewing!!!
