Day 7 - Santorini!!!

Well on our last day we took a day trip to Santorini. I have always wanted to go there and i have to say it lived up to all my expectations!!!

We caught the ferry over to the Port of Athinos santorini and drove to our first stop - Pirgos. This is where the first 2 photos were taken. Absolutley amazing!

We walked the cobble streets and even saw a couple of donkies!

We really needed a nice cold drink and bought 2 cokes for 3 euro each ouch!

We left Pirgos and drove to Oia. Oia is the oldest village in Santorini. It is the village that is well known for its Architecture. (The sisterhood of the travelling pants!) With the White buildings and blue domes. By far my favourite place in Santorini. We had lunch in a little patisery where the waiter taught us how to say, Hello, Thanyou and other words for Bon Apitiet in Greek. Of course as soon as Ben and i walked out, we had forgotten them all!!!

The next 2 photos are of Oia.

After we left Oia, we went to Fira - Santorinis Capital. It had lots of shops but was no where near as lovely as the other 2 places. We had an hour here and we just walked the cobble streets. The photo above is of us at the top of the village looking over the rest of it. Still very attractive and all you see on the TV when people go to Santorini!

Then it came to the end of our trip. We caught the Flying Cat 4 back to Herakloin Port where we had our last meal in our hotel and went off to bed ready to catch our early flight home to England.

We left 40 Degree days with blue skys and no clouds to return to Exeter in a cold strip of 13 degrees. Brrrrr.
