Heaven can wait, we're in Santorini
Santorini, what a beautiful place. It would be up there with one of the best spots we've been too. We spent 5 nights here with 3 at Hotel Afroessa and the remaining 2 at Hotel Katerina. We arrived on the first morning flight to the island, watching the sun rise over distant islands. Blurry eyed and tired we somehow grabbed a taxi and were …
Beautiful island with an explosive history
Such a lovely place.
Background:
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization.

Day 4 : The Caldera
... There are the two volcanic
islands Nea Kameni and Paela Kameni, and finally the smallest island

Day 7 Santorini
... out in the end- they are from Iasi too.
Ioana had lamb klaftiki, I had stakanakaoauski something (like long meatballs in tomato stew). Of course free ouzo at the end too. On the way home we paid our last visit to the greek bakery, to say goodbye. I got a photo with the owner- he was very happy and gave us some free biscuits. YUM but soooo full right now, gonna explode. Just waiting for our transfer to the airport now. See you in Athens!
