Greece

We had a fantastic time in Greece. I would recommend all to visit this beautiful part of the world. Ryan and I met in Athens took an over night ferry to Crete spent two nights, then went to the island of Santorini, the island of Ios and spent the last two nights back in Athens. The atmoshpere was great. We had a fun-filled, but relaxing time.

Iraklio, Crete the 5th largest city in Athens, this is the port area

Knossos, Crete where the legandary King Minos, the Minotaur and labyrinth were said to exist

Island of Santorini, an ancient volcanic island that had black sand (seen here), red sand and white sand beaches.

Main city of Phira in Santorini, extremely beautiful.

Island of Ios, a view of the beach area from just outside our hotel

Chiros, Ios the main city on the island, full of night-life

The legandary Parthenon

I spent the day in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki traveling back to Istanbul, this is a 3rd century church in the middle of town
