The cruise: an epic saga PART 2
... back and forth up to the town. Upon closer inspection we realized
the small path was actually a donkey taxi zone. Tens of donkeys were making
their way up the hill with tourists perched on their backs! We saw a dude at
the base of the hill with a sign reading “Donkey Station” and we were so amused
we decided that HAD to be our way up. First though, we decided to go visit the

Next stop Oia. sorry for the plethora of sunset pix but they're so cool I couldn't decide which ones to publish...hope you enjoy!

Amazing Santorini
