On june 2nd 2007, a group of 8 graduates from Skagerak International School in Norway met at Gardermoen airport, more than ready for a 2 week holiday in Ios, Greece after suffering 2 years of the international baccalaureate.

The party country!! Backpacked in Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and Ios

Island hopping around the Greek Islands in the summer of 2005 with a few friends.

Over the years Ios has become somewhat of a pilgrimage. Once visited you always get a powerful urge to return.

Travelling through Athens, Santorini, Ios and Mykonos. Another perfect holiday for me! Wonderful people, superb food, some great sites, excellent photography, plenty of sun and happy times, and all for a great price.
