Memories of Greece
In between packing for my next trip and preparing for our "1st annual proper American Halloween party", I finally got around to uploading a few shots from our Greece trip. Click on the FLICKR icon on the top-right to see more! Our week-long trip to Greece involved two days in Athens to hit the Acropolis, and five days/four nights on the beautiful island of Santorini.
Santorini is a picture postcard perfect island. Everywhere you turn, there's a photo op, from the iconic blue-dome churches to the narrow and steep cobblestone alleys. The volcanic island is supposedly the site of the mythical lost city of Atlantic. The Two Crabs rarely return to the same holiday destination twice. But Santorini is one of the few places I would definitely go back to again. Oia especially was absolutely gorgeous. Great food, great people, great sights. Go to Santorini, now!!
Unlike most people who island hop by ferry, we flew from Athens to Santorini because it was much quicker (30 minutes flight vs. 5 hour boat trip) and much cheaper, only $100 roundtrip..about the same price as the ferry. Once on Santorini, it's easy to get around by foot but we also rented a car for two days to hit the black-sand beaches of Kamari, a winery and a two trips to Oia, supposedly home of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. It did not disappoint!
I'll upload more pics later. Happy Halloween!
