I'm skipping a day in the blog as we basically chilled at the beach on Mykonos for the day yesterday. It was a gorgeous cove, and one of the "expensive" beaches. The water was cold! But it was a lovely, relaxing day.
Today we checked out of our hotel and wandered Mykonos for a few hours before our ferry. The ferry ride was nice, if longer than I thought it would be; both Charlotte and I took a nap. We stopped at Paros and Ios before arriving at Santorini.
As we neared Santorini, cameras came out and everyone craned their necks to look out the window. It truly was a gorgeous sight. On one side the island with villages melting from the top down onto the cliff; on the other, a black lava island.
Our hotel met us at the port, which was nice, especially as it's a bit of a ride into Fira. The hotel was a bit of a shock - a tiny room! - especially after the one in Mykonos. And my suitcase handle had been busted on the ferry, which had made me cranky. We sulked a bit before heading to the main hotel building to see if they had a map.
Our hosts were so kind that we soon felt less pain over our room. They gave us wine, went over the attractions, and made us feel at home. We spent an hour with them before heading off to dinner.
We ate at a restaurant on the caldera side, recommended by our hosts (their son works there). It was very good food and a gorgeous view.
Now we're exhausted and ready for bed... thinking it will be the beach tomorrow.
