IOS: 2 NIGHTS
(6 hours sail south) Ios is recognised, by those who know,
as being the largest single night-life location in the world.
It offers more bars and raving partiers than the Algarve and
Spring Break in Florida combined! With over 300 bars in the
small chora (hilltop town) above the harbour, there is definitely
something for everyone. There are thousands of drunken young
people that visit each summer on their tour through the islands.
Ios is a hang out, a meeting place and a place to work for
a summer of fun. It is also home of the longest and finest
beaches of the Aegean sea -Milopotas which is packed with
young sun worshippers (make sure to visit the Far Out Camping,
a shangrila on Ios with two pools, water slides, basketball,
scuba diving and the most abusive English barman in existence
- Cookie of Cookies Bar. Manganari is the other fantastic
beach which is 1.5 kilometres of golden sand and is a more
relaxed and off the beaten trail.
Our first night on Ios enjoy a fine California style Greek
dinner at Lord Byrons Taverna then head to the square where
the action begins each night. Starting at Ios Blue where manager
Yannis and D.J. Fotis welcome guests as regular patrons with
a shot of Sambuka or Jagermeister. The dance floor is always
packed with partiers from all over the world; Scandinavia,
Germany, England, South Africa, Australia, and North America
but the largest single visitors are the lovable Irish. Early
in the season there are so many Irish that the word Ios could
stand for 'Irish Over Seas'! Right beside Ios Blue is the
famous Red Bull Bar which is as packed and barman Giorgos
welcomes dancing on the bar. Next stop is Flames bar where
Nicholas an Elizabeth, from Sweden, are ready to mix your
favourite drinks. These three bars and the square in general,
are a great place to meet singles as you are forced to be
social -being crammed so close together! Greece has a wonderful
way of letting inhibitions disappear and friendships begin.
If the bar man notices that you are getting to close, he might
try to cool things off with spray whipped cream! Other bars
worth mentioning are the Zulu (where visitors must watch that
their eyebrows don't get singed from the fire juggling and
fire spitting competition the Austrian bar men put on each
night), the world famous Slammer Bar where patrons are invited
to drink 5 ounces of tequila mixed with seven up and get whacked
several times over the head with a rubber mallet (participants
are offered a gimmicky football helmet and a padded jacket
for minimal protection from the whaling). The Dubliner
is the next stop on the way down to the bigger discos. Dubliner
is a half open air sports bar with two dance floors several
bars and a good Irish atmosphere. The next stop is a must
see, Sweet Irish Dream , an institution in Ios usually gets
going at around 02:00. It is the 'home of table dancing' as
all the tables are made out of thick cement -specifically
for that purpose. The objective is to get a table then invite
and haul up whomever you fancy! Tables can accommodate six.
After this exciting, table dirty-dancing it is time to move
on to the real discos along the road to the beach. First stop
is the Mojo Club which is open air and features good new age
music then the evening continues at the infamous Scorpions
Bar which is a techno bar with mind blowing laser lights.
Both latter bars can accommodate over 300 patrons . When you
leave Scorpions it is 06:00 and the sun is up. Time for bed
or the beach! Night two can be a repeat of night one at Ios
-if you have the energy?
SANTORINI (30
to 90 minute ferry ride). Guests
disembark the yacht on morning 8 and visit Santorini by ferry.
It is possible to book a room for a day or two to see the
Santorini sites. Santorini is the most beautiful of the Greek
islands as it is a six mile round ancient volcanic crater.
It is the island that is associated with the myth of the lost
civilisation of Atlantis. It is a good idea to rent a car
and explore a little. The black sand beach of Perissa is a
great way to relax or just enjoy the swimming pool at the
guest house. It is important to catch the sunset at charming
Ia at the north west tip of the island -some cheese and a
bottle of wine are a good idea. There are many restaurants
and the night-life usually begins at the Blue Note Bar which
is a well known international watering hole. Walk the winding
streets and take in the Ozzie Bar and the breath taking view
off the cliffs of Thira, then dance at Enigma or Koo Club,
both are larger discos.
These tours are unique in the industry and will only be offered
in August. They begin at either Lavrion or at Ios. They are
one way sailings and guests must make their own way to and
from the departure and disembarkation points. Please refer
