It is our last full day on Santorini and Sunday sees us packing up and heading to Heraklion on Crete for one night and then to Chania and the Anastasis apartment waiting for us.
Yesterday saw us on an old sailing vessel and touring the islands, complete with volcano island....molten lava rocks in jet black, very cool....hotsprings that we got to by jumping from boat ladder and swimming through the Aegean sea to the cove holding the hotsprings, ...well....warm springs..., a village of 250 people on another island Thirissa, and finally ending at the port of Oia once more ( we were there for sunset on Tuesday by car) on Santorini, a donkey up, up, up ( yes I rode a donkey and they were quite friendly :)...and an evening of good food, fantastic views and Dolmades once more. mmmmmmmm....dinner was, dolmades as afore mentioned, greek salad, saganaki, and pork souvlaki along with the Santorini wine we have come to love.
I am looking forward to European influences that Crete has to offer although sad to leave the white stucco and blue domed architceture of Santorini.
Our hosts at Stelios Place pensions have been amazing and we felt so at home there.
This island is a mystery of old world, mixed with new world tourism, sunsets, views and friendly gregarious people.
Off we set to new adventures and hopefully I can upload some pics on Crete....
Adeeos!
