Only 2 More Months!!!!

Until our Greece trip! I've had the hotels, flights, and ferries booked for a while, so now I am down to the smaller details. Half of the fun with these trips is the planning. (At least for me, H thinks I am insane for all the time I spend on TripAdvisor.com.) 

So...wanna see where we'll be staying? I'm not going to say the names because I don't want any crazies canceling my reservation or anything. I'll give a full trip report when we return.
Hotel #1: Athens
We decided to scrimp a little on this hotel. It has a great location, but the rooms are pretty simple. Check out the view from the restaurant though! (Not a bad place to have your continental breakfast, huh?)
Hotel #2: Santorini


And here is why we decided to scrimp a little on the Athens hotel. It is on the pricey side, but we will have a room right on the caldera. Might have to start using the stair master at the gym though...check out all those steps! They advise anyone with physical disabilities NOT to stay here. 
Hotel #3: Naxos


Naxos is one of the largest Greek islands and is known for their beaches, so we chose this quaint little greek bungalow style hotel right on the beach. Not that we are going to waste all of our time sunbathing. Naxos is the type of island where you can rent a car to go drive up to see ancient Byzantine churches but you might get stopped by a herd of goats crossing the road. Not nearly as touristy as Athens and Santorini. I've also read that you can rent 4 wheelers to explore part of the island and you will come across some completely deserted beaches and swimming coves. Ahhh....I could go on and on. But I won't.

Now if the nest two months could just fly by.....
