We booked ferries and hotels on Santorini, but, at 6:30am, we were told that a big storm out on the Aegean prevented ships from leaving port in Athens. So we jumped on a small ferry and went island hopping near the coast where the weather didn't affect travel.
Poros is only a few hours from downtown Athens, but it seems a lot further.
And it was so quiet on these islands, we could behave however we wanted.
We stayed in this suite for a few days. Great view of the harbour, but you can't point that out to Cody when he's using his alloted 30 minutes a day of PSP time.
You know what Greek Salad is called in Greece? Salad. We had salad, olives, feta cheese, cucumbers, and bread, EVERY day. It was so good, I nearly set my alarm for 3am so I could get up and eat some more. The image above is the view from our restaraunt.

That evening, when we ordered a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and feta cheese, the waiter said, "You mean a Greek salad?" Have you heard the joke: What do they call Chinese food in China? The answer will come below if you don't figure it out.

The above is in a blog post here:

I'm sending this to you because I read about your own questions about Greek salad in Greece.

We almost went to Greece this spring, too. We went to Croatia instead. A super cool National Park--Plitvicka. See ya...
