Greece 2014


Well, we didn’t expect to end up in Greece this year but our lives took an unexpected turn  in February with Col being diagnosed with Lymphoma.

After a six month course of chemotherapy Col is in full remission and we are celebrating with a five week trip to the Greek Islands.
 
Astypalea 25 August

The first Island visited is Astypalea (spelt many different ways but we're sticking with this one) in the Dodecanese, a ten hour ferry ride from Athens via Paros, Naxos, Donousa and Amorgos.

We've found a great hotel (Hotel Paradissos) on the waterfront with a large balcony overlooking the bay and 14 th Century Castle.
