http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28180 Once back at the office, they even offer you a bottle or two of Deschutes beer!
I had a great time on a one day Bachelor to Bend trip and, if it wasn't for the substantial distance from home, I'd be back there tomorrow.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28180 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28179 Coffee and some sort of cake seem to be permanently available. The breakfasts are as huge and filling as you want them to be.
The centre of Bend, with it's pubs and restaurants, is just 10 minutes walk away, so it's perfectly located for the town as well as the surrounding Cascade mountains.
You will have to share a bathroom though, so if you're not happy about that, look elsewhere, but everything's spotlessly clean.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28179 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23443
There's also a small wine selection and the staff are knowledgable and friendly.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23443 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23154
If you want to see the quiet villages of Nikia or Emborio on the crater rim as well (and the view from Nikia in particular is terrific), you may need to make a few enquiries - there are a few guides who go a bit further, but not many!

Alternatively, there is a limited bus service into the interior.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23134
The path is fairly simple to follow - if in doubt, look for the ankle-level lights that mark the way. At the summit, you can scramble around the ruins and take in the view of Tilos's central plain and surrounding mountains, as well as the beaches at Plaka and Agios Antonios.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23134 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23030
The higher you go, the better the views get - you can easily make out nearby islands, approaching cruise ships and abandoned windmills.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23030 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22784 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22784 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22783
Just click on the date you require and it can show you availability across the city. From there, you can deal directly with the establishment by email (and, as it's Belgium, you can do that in English!).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22783
