My holiday in Greece had come to an end last Friday, as British Airways dragged me back (almost kicking and screaming). After having not seen a drop of rain for over 3 weeks, the plane landed in Heathrow with the rain pouring outside....typical. I am now in the process of pulling myself out of the post holiday/relationship depression..........

I must thank everyone who has taken me to all the cool places in Athens, and hi to all my new friends out there. I will definitely go back ASAP! I love Greece! Its now one of my favorite countries!

Anyhow...Here is a quick summary of my Greece tour, complete with pics of course.



Yes! The Olympic stadium.....this should go with my last entry really. I wish I bought the tickets to see the closing ceremony when it was going for 100 euros! I will just have to go to the next one!





No Greece tour would be complete without visiting THE Parthenon. With our brilliant tour guide, Orestes, I now know things like this are all called 'ancient shit'. It's amazing, and makes you think its a giant stage set when you walk around Athens, as if you are in the Truman show!




Here is Sarakiniko, Milos! Whiter than white volcanic rocks, complete with crystal clear water. Yes, it was heaven! This is my first proper beach holiday and I loved every minute of it. I can so get used to a life style like that...Sleep, beach, food!The lesson I have learned from here is... Always ask the bar man where to go and eat! Thanks to him, we went to this tavern that served amazing Greek food....ahhhh, drooling just think about it!






My first Design hotel experience (something tells me this won't be the last) is at Semiramis! Designed by Karim Rashid, it's complete with pink, green, orange and curves...What more does a hotel want?! I loved it, and I loved the fact that everything in the hotel was designed properly and thought about. It just pleases my eyes sooooo much!!!




Wonderful collection by Dakis Joannou (owner of the hotel above). My favorite pieces were ones done by Tim Noble and Sue Webster. No, I am not talking about the famous 'light bulb' ones, the pieces I liked were 'Dirty white Trash (with Gulls)' and 'He/She'. Simple ideas are always the best!


As you can see, my holiday in Greece is definitely one I will remember forever! I felt strangely at home in Athens, because there are so many similarities between there and Taiwan. All the concrete flats, buildings that don't really fit well together,the culture....etc, etc. I will definitely go back there! Who knows....I might even learn Greek?!
