Please note, that despite that the Amazon 'Look Inside' shows the pictures in colour, they are in monochrome in the actual book, to keep the price affordable. There is a link to the colour photographs on the Net at the very end, so you won't miss out on the experience of this comic travelogue to and from the Greek island of Syros, one of the lesser known and certainly lesser reported holiday destinations in the whole Mediterranean.If you want to sit on a beach, you can do that anywhere, but to appreciate the empty spaces, away from the usual holiday destinations, you can't do much better than a trip to the Greek Islands.Avoid the usual tourist traps of Mykonos and Santorini if you can, and follow my trail into the unknown.The tale incorporates the whole experience, from the trials of negotiating the airport, through the calculated lack of coordination of plane and ferry, and past the ladies touting their (possible) accommodation, before final arrival.Once there, Syros is explored in detail, and features, amongst many other observations, the eternal 'Cigarette Smoking Man', the beggars that give receipts, a Greek Basil Fawlty, and why self-driving cars on the island would be a 'Really Bad Idea'.
