I would be remiss if I did not share this story. As the days of our 40 day adventure began to dwindle, money did, too. Syros was a perfect place to save a few bucks- cheap hotel, only entertainment being the beach, and most meals acquired from the local fruit stand/market. Well, on our last night, we ate at a shoreside restaurant that had a fabulous looking fish selection in a small glass case. How expensive could it be with rooms for 30 euros a night? I mean, we're talking about a tiny piece of land completely surrounded by the Mediterranean here- how difficult can it be to catch a nice fish? We found the answer to that question the hard way. Tom ordered a great looking snapper, and thankfully it also tasted great, because this was the world's most expensive fish. In fact, judging by the price, he may have eaten the world's LAST snapper. In American dollars, Tom ate a 90 dollar fish that night- the equivalent of 3 night's stay in our current hotel. He assured me we would laugh about the debacle someday.
Anyway, our last day on Syros was spent on Kini beach and we were pretty sad to leave. It was a beautiful place and one we hope to visit again someday.
