Exploring the island

... different from ours. I wonder what they would make of our world.

In the remainder of the day we had a stroll around Pyrgos, the girls had a splash in the black sands of Kamari Beach and we headed back to Ammoudiou Bay, stopping for some late lunch at the restaurant Nikoy, perched literally on the side of a cliff. Stunning views and nice food.

We reach Oia again as the sun was setting and had a lovely half hour or so strolling around Ammoudia Bay and the trail ...

Oia or bust

... because we walked slowly, took breaks and lots of photos. At times the route is on a cobbled path and at times it’s just a goat track. It climbs up and down and skirts the cliff edge at all times. It really is something to experience. Along the route are dotted a series of picture-perfect chapels. I was disappointed to find them locked though.

Although the walk is only 12 km, its climbs and descents make it very challenging, at least for us and we were completely buggered ...

Slow boat to Santorini

... of the Santorini caldera it is a most accurate word. I’ve posted some pictures but it is impossible to capture the haunting beauty and the perfect stillness of the caldera when viewed from above.

The Aroma Suites is one of the few accommodation establishments in Fira to stay open over the winter and good on Thanes for being a bit enterprising because as far as I can tell it is paying off – there are at least 4 other groups staying here at the ...

Santorini day 3

... ladder. Next we docked on the island of Thirasia for lunch. Our last stop was the port of Oia on Santorini. The ride to Oia was the best part of the trip! The waves were huge and the boat was rocking so violently that I almost got thrown from my seat. It was like a ride on a roller coaster. We got off the boat at Oia and hired donkeys to take us from the port to the town, which sits atop the ...

Its Windy in Santorini!!!

... Knocked Up' on DVD (the 2nd time we've seen it this trip). This hotel offers english dvds... which is wonderful since there is pretty much no english tv channels (beside the BBC). It seems funny to want to watch dvds when you're in Greece, but its a nice break from the sun and heat sometimes. Today we took the public bus up to Fira for a little shopping... the bus ride was... weird. It was about 15 minutes late ...

Magical Sunset.

... br>




These two houses out of nowhere, are actually painted very nice, and they aren't any special buildings. We just cannot resist and had to stop our car just to take a picture of them!













Greece also export a lot of pistachios. And it is from here that we first see a pistachio tree. They ...

Santorini, here we come!!

Yay.... We are heading to Santorini today! We had to take an expensive flight from Aegean air, although the journey is much shorter than the flight from London to Athens, the price is actually much more expensive! Oh well, we don't have much choice, and I'm not willing to waste our time to go to the port to take a ferry to Santorini. And we get too see this aeriel ...

Scooter heaven

... to produce evidence of the "hairiest ride on earth" so on the way down (hoping and praying that no other traffic was coming up the hill); the BOSS had one hand on the grab-bar and the other on the video camera. Yes mum - she was quite safe, we were only doing 10km/hr. No mum - it was not an unnecessarily risky thing to do (no more so than aerobatic flying or bungee jumping). Yes mum - the tingling sensation in my fingers stopped after a few minutes ...

Cocktails at Sunset? Ah, the life

... Oia, a shear cliff face that to get to the top you could either take a donkey or walk. As much as im sure the donkeys new what they were doing there was a rail all the way up that only came half way up my leg. We deceided not to be brave and walk up ourselves since when sitting on the donkey you literally would be riding on the edge! Oia, we were told is where the most beautiful sunset on earth can be seen, this was going to be interesting. Lots of places including some in ...
