Vivace in Canada

The last day in Athens, we didn't want to get up early so we had breakfast at the Hotel, got ready and left for the ancient Kerameikos.

It was time to return to Athens, we took Hellenic Seaways High Speed boat at 11:30 am, the boat was scheduled to arrive at Piraeus (Athens) at 15:00 pm.
We left for the new port of Mykonos around 9:30 am, there was nothing around our hotel that we could have breakfast at, luckly there was a tiny stand in the new port, we bought coffee and sandwiches, and had breakfast while we were waiting for the boat.

The second day in Mykonos, I was very excited to start the day, going to the island that I highly anticipated to visit during this entire trip. We woke up early and had breakfast at a cafe in Mykonos town.

We also asked the hotel arranged to drop us off at the Santorini airport, and took the Sky Express once again, flew from Santorini at 11:00 am, arrived at Mykonos at 11:30 before noon.
The landing was the most terrifying experience I've never had, It felt as if the flight went into a nose dive, I thought that we were not going to make it this time, the flight landed safely of course, when we stepped out the aircraft, immediately realized how windy it was to cause the awful landing, and it got me thinking, I had read so much before the trip, how come nobody mentioned that it was extremely blustery in Mykonos?

The second day in Santorini, we ate breakfast at the hotel room since we had a kitchen. We planned on going to the old port today, which was beneath the cliff of Fira town.

Our Sky Express flight to Santorini took off at 10:00 am, we had to get up early again to catch it. The public transportation system in Crete was very convenient, one bus took us all the way to the airport from Amoudara.

The flight from Crete to Santorini took only half an hour, we asked for pick-up services from the hotel, we were staying at Reverie Apartments, I was happy that I didn't have to worry about how to get there.

The third day in Crete, our big plan for the day, was sitting on the beach in Amoudara, and doing nothing.

The second day in Crete, we had breakfast in our room, the kitchen became very handy, we made our own coffee and ate the sandwiches we bought from a convenience store the night before, then got ready and went to catch a bus to downtown.

When traveling in Greece, the hotels or restaurants often offered Continental Breakfast, we got tired of having cheese with ham and fruit everyday, so the last day in Old Town, we decided going to an English ownd and ran restaurant to have an English style breakfast that we had been craving.

'Lindos is the most popular excursion from Rhodes town, and the best way to arrive is by boat.' Our travel guide says so, but we took a bus instead. The bus ride form the bus station outside of Old Town to Lindos was about 1 hour and 20 minutes, it was around 12:30 when we arrived Lindos bus station.

Finally, we slept in, had our breakfast in a small cafe; couldn't wait to see the Palace of the Grand Masters, which is located at the north side of the Street of the Knights.

We got up early again, had breakfast at the hotel, got ready and left for the airport; we flew with Olympic Airlines at 11:40 am, arrived at Rhodes airport at 12:40 pm, then took a bus to Rhodes Old Town. I didn't have a detailed map for the hotel, and the streets in Old Town were very complicated, with the direction from a tourist informaiton centre, we still spent some time to find Mango Rooms, the hotel we were staying in for the next few nights.

Acropolis (Gr. acro, high + polis, city, pl. acropoleis) literally means a high city. For purposes of defense. ---Wikipedia.

Our flight from Frankurt to Athens was delayed an hour, we arrived in Athens around 2:00 in the afternoon, took the Metro train to downtown Athens, got off at Acropolis station that according to the direction that was provided by the hotel.
