Day 3 at Sea

Day 4 Santorini, Greece.

Without luggage still (well you can’t expect them to deliver at sea)

We arrive at Santorini, probably one of the most iconic scenes in Greece. It doesn’t seem right since it has only been popular for 60 years. Considering the Acropolis and Zeus’ temple and other ancient ruins have been in existence for over 2,000 years.

We start with a bus tour and a stop at a winery for a tasting. Wine was ok. Drove around the island and then embarked for our hike thru the town.

Very steep hills, narrow streets all painted white. With 7 cruise ships in port and a small town the streets were jammed. Line up for a chance to take a picture. Ray and Cindy were going to take the cable car up to a restaurant for a drink and a meal. (much more relaxing)

Personal homes typically have a maximum of 2 floors and flat roof. Domed roofs are those of churches or chapels.

We had some free time to walk around but spent it lining up ( 1.5 hours) to take the cable car down to get back on our tender. ( tender is a small boat used to shuttle passengers from the pier to our ship).

Santorini does not have the space to handle those large crowds.

On to our next stop of Mykonos.
