we are a little tired so we just go to Thira center for a few drinks and get back,
tomorrow morning we have to be dynamic for The Sunset Tour, where we will walk on the old volcano and swim at different bays...

the next and almost our last day we leave the island, from Pireas we'll take the boat to Chios island which is the last stop for us before Turkey...

its a long and boring boat trip because we will arrive to Chios at 03.00am and have to wait fot the boat to Cesme-Izmır (TR) for about 6hours.. :(
but nothing to do..

Glad you had a nice time here in Greece. Our countries have much in common but many different things also. The kindness and hospitality of the Turkish people is widely known. One day i will come with my bike in Turkey and get to know the Turkish people first hand. Till then, thank you for posting :)
