Arrived Santorini on
the fast ferry September 8
Luca, Max, Pat, Amy, & Bob (Sally took the picture)

Unusual architecture, all the whitewashed building hanging high off the cliffs
|
 |
Found our accommodation, a villa with 5 bedrooms, 7 decks, 4 bathrooms on the 3rd floor overlooking the Aegean Sea
|

Sunrise from the
villa, thanks VRBO.
Took a hike to
the Red Beach (our favourite). Then a water taxi to Black beach where we swam
through a cave (spooky). Took a pass at White beach and back to Red beach all
the while drinking
cold beer.

Luca got a great
surprise when the newlyweds (Chiara & Masi) showed up to join us.
A cable car took us down the cliffs from Fira to the Old Port where we boarded "Odyseas" to tour the Caldera, hiked the volcano, swam in the hot springs, lunch at Thirasia and ended the trip with a donkey ride up the switchbacks to Fira

One night we got dressed up and went high class.
We sampled wines at the Santos winery while enjoying the Caldera sunset.
Took in the sunset at
Oia along with many other camera toting tourists, Promoted as the most
beautiful sunset in the world.
