Santorini, Greece

In the morning, we went to the place where the tender boat tickets are distributed. Boris told them we are not on the tour and got two tender tickets. We walked to take a tender boat. Oceania was not using their boat, it was a local boat. We went inside… this boat packed lots of people. Some people were standing. In about 20 min we were on the shore and then we realized, we are not in old port Fira, but somewhere else where buses pick tours up. Surprise! We had 20min somehow to get to the old port to catch our tour boat. We were not the only surprised couple. We grabbed taxi to get us to Fira and in 20min we were on the top. Now we needed to take cable car to go down. Luckily there was no line to go down.
We came few minutes late, but still on time for our tour. It cost us extra 55euros and lots of frustration.

We settle in our boat and the first stop was hiking a volcano. I was planning to go, but decided last minute to skip.
Our second stop was swimming and that was very nice.
Our last stop was a little island Thirasia.

Therasia is a small, volcanic Greek island in the Cyclades. There is winding steep stairs road leading to the top of island where village is located. No cars on this island. I estimated it would take me at least an hour to get to the top and another one to come back. We had less than 2 hours to explore this island. Boris and I stayed by the water and enjoyed a yummy gelato.

In the evening, we had a wonderful dinner at Polo Grill.Read more
