We found a little bit of heaven--Or at least the closest we will find here on earth! The last 5 nights we spent on a smll island called Amorgos. It is not one of the 'regular' island hopper stops, alhtough Jason and I both agree it should be. The quaint town we stayed in in called Katapola; it is a small strip of restaurants, pensions and cute shops around a beautiful bay.

We rented scooters for a few days as the bus system is not very developed. What an awesome way to explore the island! Aside from beautiful bays and deep blue water, Amorgos has incredible rolling hills, steep cliffs and cute towns filled with white houses. As we would turn each corner, we felt as if we were seeing a new, picture-worthy sight. The one frustration was that it was very windy for most of our days; once we even had to turn back because the wind was threatening to blow-over our scooter (and there are few rails on the hairpin turns! yikes!!)

Needless to say, Amorgos was our favorite stop on the Greek islands; we will certainly be returning! Our last few nights are scheduled for Athens and Rome. And then on Wednesday we will be heading home!

Love Kristin and Jason
