This is Xios!

This is a map of Xios, the island we are traveling to first. We will be on the East Coast most of the time, I assume. Micah, Stoli, and I are staying in Vrondathos which is North of of the port and city of Xios. (spelled Chios) We will definitely be visiting Komi and Karfas, as well as the black beach (a beach with black stones due to the volcano on Xios) known as Mavra Volia and a beautiful, stone beach - Agia Fotia.

This is Paros!


It is smaller than Xios in size, but apparently it's a beautiful island with a fun atmosphere and nightlife. We will be staying in the city Parikia, close to the port. Our apartment complex is only 50 meters from the beach. (oh, did I mention we each get our own apartment? Yes, studio set up, but I have a kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom, and my own balcony.) We are a 10-15 minute walk from the HISA University, but the walk is through town, beach side.
I won't complain.
Naoussa is only a 15 min bus ride North of Parikia, with beautiful beaches and crazy clubs.
Pounta is about 15 minutes South, and will be where I snorkel and take my windsurfing lessons :)
We will travel all over the island, so you can use this map as a guide of where I'm at as I describe the different towns and cities.

That's all for today :)
