Distant Arki

Sometimes you just need to get away from it all, and, if you do, you can hideaway in a solitary place like Arki afloat in the chain of islands known as the Dodecanese. With 3 restaurants, 41 local residents, and perhaps as many trees, there is little to occupy your time except clambering around the goat paths, swimming in the perfectly untouristed waters, and eating at Nicolaos Taverna. I highly recommend all three.

Billionaire Destination

If tiny Arki seems just too big then pop over to Marathi where there are only two families, two tavernas (with rooms), some goats, and a beach. We went over to snorkle her super clean waters and collect sea shells. We'd heard that George Bush Sr had visited only days before. Somehow I have a hard time imagining that. I wonder if he got in the water and stared any octopi in the eye?
