Dancing in the Dark

We continue our journey throughout the Greek islands, and since I’m running a little behind on my posts I’ll keep it short.

First important thing to note – we ate Gyros EVERYDAY.. I mean EVERYDAY. Not even just once, I’m talking like every meal was gyros. It was crazy – I’m surprised we didn’t have a coronary right then and there. Every pain in my chest I felt I was like “awwww shit here we go..”.

In Paros, the second island we visited we were living really smack bang in the centre of the town Naousa (a nightlife hub). So much so that we would go out round 9ish for a Gyros, wander the streets and meet afew people, then head back to the room to snooze for a bit and to come back out at around 3am to hit the bars and clubs. Some nights we’d go out, come back and sleep abit, go out again, come back and sleep abit again, then go out AGAIN.

THAT’s how close we were to the action. By comparison, in Naxos we had to walk 20 mins to catch a bus which would take about another 20 mins to get to the nightlife. That’s why we mainly did quad bike exploration, beach-ing, etc.

My favourite island from the 3 was Paros; had most fun there.

We also were abit creative on the islands and were composing tunes and lyrics. We had one song ready to go on Naxos, we went to record it in Paros. We found an awesome deserted old castle which was about 30 meters out in the sea. Accessible only when the tide is out be a slowly eroding stone crossing. Anyways, unfortunately we lost track of time (as you do on holidays) and we actually found this place around 5ish in the afternoon. We crossed over, began recording and then realised the tide was coming back in pretty fast. Anyways, had to bolt on out of there (Some of us made it dryly, others not – see pictures below).

And finally Ios – full of Australians.. absolutely FULL of Australians. But one good thing was 1 euro shots!! 5 euro got you topsy and turvy in no time! Add predrinks to the equation and you got yourself a recipe for good night out.
