Santorini and Athens Acropolis

---

On the Island of Santorini we adventured into King Thiras ancient city by quad right to the top of King Thiras mountain, swam in the unique volcanic beaches and explored the beautiful chappels. Santorini was quite a big island, Brendan found that out when we were trying to make our way to King Thira's ruins we had somehow managed to get lost (on an island - who would have thought!). We stayed on the island for 4 days before heading back to Athens to check out the Acropolis in particular the Parthenenon - belonging to Athena the Goddess of Wisdom. This building was errected in B.C 438 and was huge in size and one of the only temples that was injured very little after times of war and insurrection and revolutions in religion. After marvelling in the glory of Acropolis it was time for the journey home.

Till next time, thanks for tuning in to the adventures of our holiday. Can't wait till the next one!
