    Santorini - a blue and white beauty

    May 8–10, 2024 in Greece ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    We arrived late last night at Athens Airport, our flight was an hour late, and the hour was insane, after midnight, so many tired people, so many bags and so few taxis and buses. Luckily our accommodation had booked a taxi, which thankfully arrived. The lady from the apartment even met us to let us in.
    Today we flew out to Santorini, a 45 minute flight, we are staying on a hill in the middle of the island with views all around. The family are very welcoming and even picked us up from the airport. The apartment is great we have 2 private terraces with breathtaking views, and is fully equipped (there is also a breakfast bar at the end of our bedroom looking out to the islands- we feel spoilt rotten).
    This afternoon we walked up to the Kallistis ruins and churches at the highest point of the island. The views were blindingly beautiful in all directions. The houses are mainly white with the odd blue dome or windows for contrast.
