THE CYCLADES, GREECE

Eight days on the sandy beaches of the Greek islands might be considered enough time for some, but not for me. Kat and I travelled from Santorini to Ios and then on to Mykonos, staying a few nights on each island. Our favourite island was by far and away the island of Ios - less travelled and more remote. We had the beaches and white cliffs to ourselves and only returned to civilisation for our daily quota of Greek salad.
