The last time we went to Greece was in 1998. We decided to spend our last vacation from Saudi in Greece and Turkey. It as pretty amazing. We spent the first week on Syros as usual, just laying around, enjoying the tavernas and great food and doing nothing. This might sound boring to you, but after being in Saudi for a year, we enjoyed doing nothing.
After the week was over we decided to go see the rest of Greece, so we headed down to the port and caught a ferry to the next island. We did not have a plan or a reservation, we just left. We had heard from those who came before us, this was the way to do it. When we got off the the ferry, there were dozens of guys holding up signs with the names of their establishments on them; they were trying to entice us to go stay at their inn. Everyone wanted you to be their guest, so they were all negotiating with you for the best price. What fun it was! And so we spent the next two week going from island to island and really enjoying the experience On each island we rented a motorcycle and did our on personal tour of the island. I was mortified because in my mind motorcyles translated to "death." One thing we noticed was how different the tzatziki was from island to island, so we decided to eat it everywhere and do a test to see who had the best. In the end, we actually decided our little village of Kini on Syros Island had the best.
