Temple of Poseidon

 Europe » Greece » Attica » Cape Sounion
On my last full day in Greece the options of how best to spend the few remaining hours were many and varied. Eventually I decided that I wanted to go down to Cape Sounion, 70kms south of Athens to see the Temple of Poseidon, built in 444 BC. I also thought it would be nice to pack up a picnic lunch, especially given that Christos said he didn’t understand what a Kiwi picnic was. Communicating in English with Christos…..of course the only way I was able to…. was a source of constant amusement for me. I would blabber away and after [View Full Entry]

Born to Ride

 Europe » Greece » South Aegean » Santorini
A 200 CC Motorbike around Santorini. Yesterday, Monday, I hired a proper motorbike (half road, half trail bike) and went off exploring. WOW, I loved it. And I was a good wee tourist and used the helmet, although most people don't. I hadn't riden a bike in a few years and had forgotten the joy and freedom I used to feel when burning up the highway......not that there are highways in Santorini mind you. Just narrow roads and lots of bends. It was fantastic. I had a ball. I was also able to explore lots of tiny wee roads that meandered [View Full Entry]

More on Santorini

 Europe » Greece » South Aegean » Santorini
Sightseeing trip with Christos 26 Sept (guy I met on the mountain top in Santorini). Firstly it was kind of funny I thought, the tall, loud Kiwi girl showing the short ( I did him a disservice in my previous blog as he is 5 foot 4 lol, not 5 foot), quietish Greek boy around the gorgeous town of Oia. We had a ball. Christos was so pleased to have me as his tour guide. I took him to all the sights I had previously seen then we went down to the little port of Ammoudi. WOW. What a gorgeous place.

Thunder in Santorini

 Europe » Greece » South Aegean
WOW! Saturday 23rd and I get woken up at about 9am by the biggest, loudest crashing and banging sound I have ever heard. I thought bombs must be going off somewhere....well I was half asleep and did have my ear plugs in.....lol.... I get up, look outside to find it totally pissing down, then see a streak of light and realise it is lightening and then the thunder follows. Never in my life have I heard thunder like that before. Last night being Friday........funny that.........I decide to step outside my comfort zone and go to the clubs by myself. I knew [View Full Entry]

The much photographed church at Firostefani. I took possibly 100 different shots of this church.
More photos from glorious Santorini. These ones are of the 'famous' church at Firostefani. I came here many times hoping to strike some great light. The church is beside Apartments Gabby, a place I was thinking of staying at as it boasts fantastic views over the Caldera. [View Full Entry]

Santorini

 Europe » Greece » South Aegean
Here I am at last......WOW, what can I say. If you all thought I was obssesed about Santorini before I left NZ you will be worried to hear that now that I am here I am even more obssesed. So much to say, so little time. Most of it will have to wait I think until I get back home. My expectations were huge for this place and they have been met and then some. I love it immensly. I don't want to come home..........but don't worry Dad I will!! Have met wonderful people at hotel, girls from UK and USA. [View Full Entry]
