Th ere is nothing more exciting in this world, than paying a visit to the mystical shores of the Greek Islands, steeped in ancient history, and bounded by endless stories of Greek gods and goddesses, all embedded in an immortal shrine of Greek mythology. Surrounded by golden sands and encompassed by turquoise seas, along with boasting clear blue skies and scorching summer temperatures, is all the criteria that Shaun Donovan required, before embarking on his latest challenge, of traversing '50 Greek Islands in 60 days'. Armed with a rucksack, a pull-along travel case, and a man-bag, Shaun enjoys the delights of scores of mini-cruises around the beautiful Aegean Sea, stopping-off at some of the most breathtaking islands in the world, along the way. With only a walking cane to assist his severely degenerated right hip, Shaun is often left to traverse mountainous hills, and to climb neverending stairways, with each strategic movement causing him agonising pain, as his right hip crunches bone-on-bone with every other step that he takes. Apart from having a string of wonderful adventures, read how Shaun is stalked by a weirdo in Crete, before being ripped off by a taxi driver in Milos, and how he is left to avoid a bunch of marauding pickpockets in Tinos. Aside from all the wonderful people Shaun meets on his island-hopping extravaganza, our intrepid traveller also befriends a beautiful woman on the island of Leros, before moving on, to fi nish what he started. With each glorious island being so diff erent from the next, it is no wonder that Shaun is already planning to traverse another '50 Greek Islands' in the not-too-distant future.
