IOS, 'name's -5'

IOS
Ios, is my lovely dog's (born in 1999) given birthname.
She's my angel, my hike-mate, my little hughbear, my lovely sweetheart, my always sweet and trustable little friend. Wow, do I love this little doggy.
Ios is also a very small 'Cycladen kind of', Greek island, with only 1400 habitants....We gave Ios (our dog) this name, because we (Bert and I) love the Country Greece, because of all the fantastic islands. Ios itself has no meaning but this says it all:
-the great sunny weather,
-the cristalclear blue sea,
-the lovely food, greek salads & cheese ,
-the greek yoghurt with honey ,
-the greek music ,
-the cosy town has all of it.
The island IOS has a speciality the' Myzithra' = a creamy kind of cheese . The coast has 400 different chappels (churches) ,the coast is having a rocky look. There are also many middle ages castels, and windmills.

Ios Town, (chora) is a typical Cycladenplace with shinywhite houses, narrow streets and white churches.

You can only go to IOS by boat, it has no airport ( Santorini has an airport) therefore IOS-island is too small. We went to lot's of Greek islands : Samos, Kreta, Rhodos, and more.... we always love to go back there Perhaps (just a sweet dream) we ever buy a house there or somewhere else in Greece? We love travelling & dreaming......Who knows....

Als ik de plaatsjes van het eiland zie, krijg ik accuut zin om de boel hier achter me te laten en daar naar toe te verhuizen. Naar de zon en de rust
