""Legend has it that Homer died on Ios. The Iliad one, not the yellow one. Apparently, Homer visited Ios and the fishermen of the north of Ios island posed a riddle to him that he was unable to solve. Homer’s tomb is now commemorated with a large stone plaque and is located at the northern tip of Ios island. It is a short walk up from the car park area and the views are absolutely amazing. Visibility of the nearby islands of Naxos and Irakla is fantastic. There isn’t a lot to do here but I think the views alone make this a worthwhile place to visit on Ios island. He was so distressed that it is said to have caused his death. Homer really needed some work-life balance! ""

Island Hopping in Greece

Always wanted to go to island hopping in Greece? Lucky for you, I just made your trip that much easier! For one whole month, I island hopped across Paros, Naxos, Anti Paros, Milos, Sifnos and Crete (and Athens). The rest of the islands on this itinerary I have heavily researched for my hopefully-soon next trip to Greece! You best believe I spent weeeeeeks researching everything there was to do so I didn't miss a beat! Lucky for you, I ain't gate keeping any of it! Please enjoy this authentic experience around the Greek Islands. Please note, you will NOT find Santorini or Mykonos on this map. This map includes: Paros, Naxos, Anti Paros, Ios, Milos, Sifnos, Crete, Corfu, Zakynthos and Kelfonia, and of course, Athens as that is likely where you will fly in and out from. Filled with authentic experiences local to these islands, tried and true restaurants, can't-miss sites, and of course beaches!
