Vedema Resort, Santorini

Advantages: It must be the most photogenic place on the island.
Disadvantages: Can be exspensive but you can visit for the day.

can get to Ia by taking a local bus from Thira ( Santorinis capital town) which only cost a few euros. If you are staying in one of the resorts like Perissa you will need to take a local bus to Thira and then from there catch the bus to Ia. Please take care at the bus depot as the buses there reverse without warning even when passengers are standing behind them queing for other buses. You can also visit Ia by boooking a boat trip at your resort which provides coach transport to the port and then a day out which includes a viist to the volcanic island and drops you at the port of Ia in time for the sunset and you then catch a coach back. The coach depot is a bit caotic because of the number of coaches and people making their way there at the sametime for the trip back.

TRANSPORTATION Buses: They were my main form of transportation for exploring the island. The transfer between the airport (which is about 8 km away from Thira/Fira - »capital« of Santorini) was easy to find, there were plenty of buses that had hotel names written on them - so ...

Review of Santorini (Greece)

Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

INTRODUCTION Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since. WHAT?S IN THE BOX WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD ...
