Escape to paradise on the Greek island of Syros - where history and beaches collide.
Syros, located in the heart of the Cyclades, is a hidden gem just waiting to be explored. But Syros isn't just another pretty island - it's steeped in history too.
Syros was the first island in Greece to undergo significant development during the 19th century. Back then, it was a bustling port town and a hub for trade and culture. Today, Syros is still known for its rich cultural heritage, with plenty of museums and historic buildings to explore.
So, what are the top three places to visit on Syros? First, you must check out Ermoupoli, the island's capital. The town's beautiful neoclassical architecture is a sight to behold, with plenty of narrow alleyways and stunning buildings to explore. Be sure to check out the impressive Miaouli Square, the largest square in Greece.
Next, head over to Ano Syros, a hilltop village full of charm and character. Here, you can wander the narrow streets and enjoy the incredible views over the Aegean sea. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even hike up to the top of the hill for even more stunning views.
Last but not least, you can't miss out on the beaches of Syros. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax or somewhere to enjoy some watersports, Syros has it all. Some of my favourites include Galissas Beach and Kini Beach, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and soaking up the island's laid-back vibes

Island Hopping - Naxos Part 2
Island Hopping – Naxos Part 2
We woke up on the Sunday and decided to nope out of any manner of immediate movement. Fuck it, it’s the Lord’s day and she’d want us to be happy and anyway, we’re on holiday. The campsite is slap bang opposite the beach so we lounged in bed (or on the inflatable mattresses that pass as our bed at the moment) until the tent got too hot despite the shade we’d pitched under then headed down to…

Delos - the Greek Island where you are not allowed to stay overnight.
Tumblr media
I want to talk about one of my favourite Greek islands, Delos. Located just a few kilometres southwest of Mykonos, Delos is a small island that packs a big punch.
However, no one is allowed to stay overnight on Delos as it's an archaeological site and a protected area. Visitors are only allowed to stay on the island during the day and have to leave before the last ferry departs. This is to preserve the island's fragile ecosystem and protect the archaeological sites from damage or vandalism.
Getting to Delos is easy - just hop on a ferry from Mykonos, and you'll be there in no time. The island is only 3 km long and 1.5 km wide, so it's perfect for exploring on foot. Delos is famous for its ancient Greek ruins, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island was once the centre of the Cyclades, and it's said that the god Apollo was born there.
So, what can you do on the island? First up, you have to visit the ancient ruins. The archaeological site is extensive, and you can easily spend hours wandering around and exploring. Be sure to check out the Terrace of the Lions, one of the island's most famous landmarks.
Next, head to the beach. Because the island is small, there are few, and they tend to be rocky, but they are worth visiting.
Finally, take a stroll around the island. Delos is small enough to easily walk around in a few hours. Along the way, you'll see beautiful views of the sea and the surrounding islands.

I'm just thinking about like...Greek myth again. And Disney's version of Beauty and the Beast, and how that comes from Psyche and Eros and now I'm using it for Patroclus and Achilles -- mixed in with a bit of Little Mermaid, some Sleeping Beauty, a bit of a lot of things.
I know. I know. but bear with me.
Set in an even-more-fantasy version of Greece, mostly decoupled from the Epic Cycle's canon, the marriage of Peleus and Thetis ended a bit differently (and also happened earlier okay shh). Instead of fomenting chaos with an apple, Eris took out her frustrations more directly, and cursed the marriage she was banned from.
They don't expect much, everything seems fine, but seven years after their son is born, a terrible storm ravages Phthia -- ravages much of the peninsula, really. (This storm may or may not be the result of even more Eris Bullshit.) Much of the land is drowned, and soon what once was the Achaean mainland is more like the Cyclades -- a bunch of islands in a vast ocean.
Peleus dies. Most people die, in fact. Thetis, as a Nereid, survives, but her son is drowning and she has no time to make him a god, so she uses a dangerous magic to allow him to live in the sea, merging him with a shark and granting him something like eternal life.
She's a goddess, and her divine power does let Achilles live. But this boy, this child, is forever transformed, and in his terror and rage attacks his mother, and anyone who comes near him. Thetis is pulled away by her sisters, and Achilles is abandoned, alone, and scared.
It's a vicious curse he has. Craving flesh and companionship equally, unable to fully get comfortable on land or in sea. Thetis, from afar, eventually builds her son a half-submerged palace on the island that once was Mount Pelion, with companionship in the wise centaur Chiron, one of the few who survived the flood.
Chiron has to be gentle with his new associate. He teaches Achilles how to fish and prepare food, and how to hunt what game survives on the island without allowing any species to die out. Achilles matures somewhat, from a terrified child into a petulant teenager into something resembling a young man, but he's not a young man. He's a monster, and his mind is irrevocably changed.
Fast forward a few generations.
Society is rebuilding itself, slowly. The waters have hardly receded, but humanity has survived, albeit without the glorious kingdoms of the past. The island chain of Pindos cradles several communities, and a culture has emerged of 'divers,' explorers who go down into the depths below to try and reclaim what was lost. It's a dangerous job, considering the monsters that lurk beneath the depths -- the Pyrisous is the most dangerous one of all, an enormous man-like monster who devours foolish mortals whole.
Patroclus is not one of these divers. He's the son of a local chief, kept around despite his temper and the murder he committed as a child because it's hard to afford losing anybody, even a liability like him. He's big and strong, and put to work with building and fishing, anything that keeps him from talking to people for too long.
He chafes at the loneliness, but he can't say it's unwarranted. His father's influence is the only reason he wasn't sent out on a raft to die, and he knows it. He keeps his temper reined in and tries not to be too much trouble, but he wants to be loved. He wants to be cared for, and appreciated.
So it goes that when a small fleet of ships from across the ocean come, people from Troy offering their assistance in whatever matters, Patroclus throws himself into one-upping them. He fishes harder to get his people food, he erects entire buildings by himself, and when the leader of the party, Hector, floats the idea of sending people out to try and deal with the Pyrisous, Patroclus takes a ship and sets sail himself, armed with a harpoon and some rations.
It doesn't go well. His ship wrecks in a storm, and Patroclus barely survives long enough to wash up on the shore of Pelion. He's scraggly and sopping wet, and Achilles would just eat him, but Chiron's been rather sad lately, and perhaps the company would be good for the centaur. (He tries not to eat people if he can help it. Chiron's always so disappointed when he does that.)
Patroclus is deeply confused when he wakes up in a limestone palace, a centaur off to the side of him firmly reprimanding what looks like a man...or a shark...or something, who's half submerged in a pool that seems to stretch along half the room. His first intention is to flee, to run away instantly, but his ankle is twisted and there's nowhere he can go, really, not without a boat.
He doesn't know how to build a boat.
Back at home, Menoetius is freaking out about losing his son. It's his son, after all -- they didn't always see eye to eye, and of course there was resentment, but despite the seeming opinion of much of the island, he didn't want his child to die! Hector and the Trojan contingent overhear, and offer to go looking for him. They need to head out soon anyway, in order to hunt some of the monsters killing the people of the islands.
The relationship between Achilles and Patroclus is deeply contentious at first. Of course it is -- why wouldn't it be? Each one wanted to kill the other at one point, and they're both extremely bad at hiding that fact. Chiron is practically the only thing that can keep them in the same room. On the other hand, Achilles is obsessed with Patroclus's appearance, his deep human-ness after decades and decades of being away from humanity, and Patroclus guiltily enjoys the company of someone who doesn't judge him for his past actions, who doesn't know his history.
I don't know how long they're together for, learning about each other, discovering things about themselves. Achilles is reticent to share stories about his past, and what Patroclus offers is highly sanitised, but they come to understand more about each other than they've ever understood themselves.
And then the Trojan contingent comes, heavy with spears and weaponry to defend the people. And Patroclus very quickly needs to make a decision about what he believes in, and who he trusts.
