Greece Summer 2025 - Part 5 Antiparos


Antiparos

Never heard of it before? Neither had I, until I started researching for this trip.

Located on the southwest side of the Paros Island, this small island is a nice day trip from Paros. Ferries run from Port of Pounta in Paros quite frequently, and it takes about 10 minutes to cross. If you have a car, you can drive right on to the ferry and bring your car along to Antiparos. 

What was it like? Well, it's like a mini version of Paros. There's a strip of shops, boutiques, and taverns on the main road, and the rest of the island seems to be residential area and beaches. The sun was scorching hot, the goods for sale were too expensive for our pockets, so we had a meal and left for the beach.

After going back and forth trying to find a suitable lunch, we settled on Taverna Manos. Food was decent, but we felt like it was not as good as the lunch we had in Lefke Village the day before.We had grilled fish, salad, and moussaka. Miss Kiki really liked the one we tried in Lefke so she started ordering it more.

After lunch, we had had enough of the heat and sun, so we decided to go to the beach. The first beach we went to in Antiparos was the Paralia Panagia or Panagia Beach.  Miss Kiki chose this beach in particular because it has trees along the beach line so we could get away from the sun. 

The beach didn't disappoint, it had crystal clear water, soft breeze, and shade. The Panagia Beach is a rocky beach, with a lot of variety of rocks. Some were marble-like, some were sparkly like it had metal dust in it. The water was too cold for my liking but there were many people swimming  and Miss Kiki decided to go for it.

We spent a few hours at the Panagia Beach, and then we decided to check out Glyfa Beach. This beach turned out to be empty so it was like a private beach for us. However, there was no shade at all. 


We decided that we had enough of Antiparos and took the ferry back to Paros. This time, I didn't bother getting out of the car for the short ferry ride, and enjoyed the golden hour through my sunroof instead. 





That evening we had dinner in Paros at a restaurant walking distance from our AirBnb. it was a nice restaurant with soft atmosphere and live Greek music. The food was pretty good too, though we did have one of the dish we didn't like. Overall it's good, do give Marmitta Restaurant a visit if you are in the area.









So that was our last evening in Paros, please stay tuned for our next destination: the mainland!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
