Quiz time. Can you spot any difference between this cat and the side of the island? Cool shirt from Santorini. Greece's water bottle law requires their lids to be one piece. These prevent more pollution I guess. It feels like you're doing something wrong at first
We looked for casual activities to spend the day since we basically had a full day until our first return flight. Flying to Athens this evening will be mixed with different emotions, like hating to leave and eager to finish the 11 hour flight home tomorrow. There is a farrwell
The last full day before leaving the island will be an excellent ending, an exciting sunset catamaran. There's an open morning to explore Fira before setting sail at 3. We wanted to walk early in the morning before the heat, so we jumped a ride on our first
the ancient site to see all the houses that were excavated from the Cycladic civilization. They were a Bronze Age culture that flourished in the Cyclades islands of the Aegean Sea from around 3200 to 1050 BC. Lidia was our private tour guide here. She delivers a classy presentation and
Another ferry ride this morning, leaving behind the most relaxing part of the trip. Farewell to Fix beer and magical sea water. These high-speed ferries offer a comfortable ride and get you quickly to your destination at about ~55 MPH. You're free to recline your seat, order concessions
Starting off the day in the free sauna was the best decision all week. Followed by the epic steam room. I lost track of time until 45 minutes flew by. Off to the pool until we get hungry for Gyros. Either beer choice was fine. They have the run of
We toured the island of Delos to learn about the Cycladic Civilization. It's a pretty short ferry ride to get there. We anticipated a great learning experience after the mind blowing stories of Athens. Delos is an uninhabited ancient island that had a sophisticated community in the Bronze
We took our first high-speed ferry to reach Mykonos, and the interior looks just like an airplane. It was literally a 3 hour tour (insert Gilligan Island theme song). Arriving at the hotel by 1p to salvage the rest of the day. Some much needed R&R awaits! It
There's a world famous National Archeological Museum in downtown Athens that feels necessary on this trip. It's guarding so many ancient artifacts that you could technically spend the whole day visiting. Ancient history as far back as 6000 BC was excavated in the late 1800’s.
The big day arrived. The crux of the trip started with perfect sunny skies and the mildly intense sunshine on your skin. We planned for extensive walking to reach the Acropolis ("the high city"). Our private tour guide knew it all from the history and creation of the
Still alive as we arrive! We stayed awake for 24 hours before landing a nap in the hotel. The Aegean Sea provides a refreshing breeze like the ocean. The tour guides recommend recouping during the day since they have offered a cocktail dinner in the evening. The hotel food was
