Romantic Greece With No Reservations



I know I am throwing you for a loop, but I felt like writing about our vacation in Greece. It was over 12 years ago, but I was thinking about it today, and as we probably won't have another vacation for a lot of years..... Thanks Rufus and Charlie, I decided to relive our happy memories of the Greek Islands. Well, Joe and I decided to have a wonderful week's vacation in Greece. I asked Joe where he was reserving our hotels, and he said, "I won't be making any reservations." I looked at him in utter shock. So, we flew into Athens with backpacks and no reservations at all. I kept on asking Joe what we would do without any bookings, but he said, "Don't worry so much." Well, we took a boat to Santorini, and arrived on the island. There were tons of guys there with books and they ran over to us showing us places to stay at. My goodness! We landed up choosing a beautiful place in the town of Oia. It was glorious! Joe said,"How do you like the place that we got without reservations?" I was thinking..."Wise guy." I was thrilled though. It was heavenly! The sunsets in Oia were spectacular, and the sea as blue as you could imagine. The streets were white and cobblestoned, and buildings were white with glorious blue roofs.We had wonderful food....and I just loved it! When we felt like leaving Oia finally and heading to another island, we took our backpacks and left, again with no reservations. We saw the islands of Paros, Naxos, and Mikonos, and each one was gorgeous. It was our first holiday together, and I will never forget it. I made a scrapbook of everything that happened...Joe took the pics, and I added my creativity. We will return to Greece one day....we have promised ourselves that, and we won't make any reservations.LOL
