Hmm. Embarassed, why was I thinking of an island on the Ionian side...not even sure what Island "I" was referring to. My apologies. In the words of Miss Emily Litella; "Never Mind"
(Though I would still consider flying from Chios..the one everyone seems to be talking about..not the other one...back to Athens)
