Tzatziki Tzatziki Tzatziki!



Greece, beautiful Greece! Who needs the Caribbean when you can have the Cyclades? We have been here for over a week now, of which we spent the first 5 days in Santorini in an apartment 1000ft up on the edge of a cliff overlooking the famous Caldera, and the last 2 days in a nearby island - Folegandros. The weather is sublime, low humidity and a constant breeze, the food is addictive - I'm on Tzatziki binge of Titanic proportions - and the views really screw with your head they are so good...


However, like all the cliched places in the world, you have to know where to go....and because half of the island is overrun by tourists, going to the wrong place will end in tears and frustration. Avoiding the main towns at all costs and heading to the highest cliffs on the island....meant that only peace and tranquility awaited us. Folegandros is an escape from an escape. A large rock with a couple of villages stuck in time. Menus only in Greek, and barely any tourists.


But now the wind is kicking up white horses outside our window, and soon we depart back to Santorini via hydrofoil across some fairly epic waves and surges. We extended our trip here by another 5 days....just because it really is so good. So of I go down to the port, herete...
