I have arrived in the beautiful Greek Isles, to be particular, I am in the Cyclades, a small group of roughly 220 islands just south of Athens. I am currently on the Island of Syros, which serves as the legislative hub of the island group. The island can be circumnavigated in about an hour. There are seaside views from most every location. The Cyclades sit in the Agean Sea, a body that is about as blue as can be, and when up close, crystal clear. There are a couple of dive outfits on the island. I may stop by to inquire about possibly taking a dive or two.
Although, there is a short runway (3,500') that handles small commuter flights to Athens and Thessaloniki, the primary way to travel to Syros is via a ferry from Athens, which brings in most of the people, vehicles, and commercial goods. It is off-season, so the ferry runs just once a day. Getting around the islands is quite cheap, and there are plenty of ferries to jump. Mykonos, a vacation hub for all of Europe, is a 1.5 hour ferry ride away. A $14.00 ticket will get both the motorcycle and myself one way. I am not sure I understand how they make money, especially off-season.
