Been There | Tips | The discarded Kouros statues of Naxos
I've been to all three kouros. One of the kouros was difficult to find when I was there a few years ago!

Greek Seamen Join May Day Strike
Greek Seamen Join May Day Strike | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece
Here they go again. The strike is on May 1 (midnight to midnight). This will disrupt a lot of people's travel plans, as ferries on other dasys are likely to be full.
Looking at the Blue Star timetable, extra ferries are already listed either side of the strike - e.g. http://www.bluestarferries.com/site/routes_cargo.asp?rid=397&loc=2

The Island of Amorgos, Greece | Travel | Life | Epoch Times
The Island of Amorgos, Greece | Travel | Life | Epoch Times
"To me, Amorgos is people, paths, and plants; sun, sea, and stones—an undeveloped island suited for travelers rather than tourists. It is for people who want to take the time to discover an older, authentic way of life, to explore the construction styles and architecture of old stone houses, barns, churches (there are 365) and chapels (40)."

Some of the photos are mine, some of the photos are others that I like.
A splash of Greek red for a white English Easter
I took the photo below in May 2011. The number of flowers, and the places where they are prolific, vary from year to year.

Trying To Leave Amorgos On April 1
On 1 April 2013 I am again on Amorgos (and have visited Amorgos many times during the intervening years), and ate last night in the same taverna.
Today the weather is good, unlike in 1985. This year I was planning to leave Amorgos on 3 April. I'm not expecting any problem with the weather, but there is a ferry strike!
