We flew to Milos – the first of the Greek Islands we were visiting. I’d arranged to stay a night in this magic little colourful fishing village. We were going to stay in one of the colourful boathouses (syrmata) and have dinner outdoors on the waters edge at the nearby restaurant just down along the waters edge from us

With amazing views of sunset over the waters of Milos Bay this traditional fishing village on the island of Milos is known for its iconic pop-of-colour houses – called syrmata – that line the hillside. Apparently the village has been a popular home for locals since around 7000 BC

Watching the sunset and listening to the waters lap literally at your door is so serene and relaxing. This place is beautiful and well worth the visit and a stay if you can

A for Athens

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 42 mm, 1/50 sec at f/8, ISO 125

For our last night in Athens Sue had booked for us all to have a sunset dinner at A for Athens. The restaurant has rooftop dining with a commanding view over Monastiraki square and a great view of the Acropolis behind

We had a table right at the front so had a perfect view

I setup my 360 camera to do a day to night timelapse and clamped it to the railing at our table and let it run. When I get around to processing my footage from the Insta360 X4 I’ll post the result

Here are a few shots at different times which I took with my “real” camera

Tomorrow we’re off to the first of our Greek Islands adventure…

Parthenon

We’d all booked tickets to visit the Acropolis and the Parthenon for the earliest time slot the next morning (8AM entry). The idea being that it wouldn’t be too busy and we’d avoid the heat of the middle of the day

As Sue said… lots more rocks 🙂

After a great lunch at this great little place called Dioskouroi on the steps at the side of the Acropolis we also visited the Acropolis Museum in the afternoon

There’s an exclusion zone around the Acropolis itself so I stayed around Filopappou Hill and took my shots from afar. We did see someone flying a drone (at night) right on top of the Acropolis and around the buildings one night
