    Local Bus Travel

    17.–18. sep. 2025, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Breakfast was provided by Terra Blue, and we sat in a garden terrace with about 10 cats. There are cats everywhere here, and if we leave our door open, they will wander right in. Many people share their breakfast with them, so it's hard to keep them off our chairs and even the tables. After breakfast, we walked to the end of our road and caught the local bus for €2 to Fira. What a beautiful city set on a series of cliffs. There are seven hundred steps down to the ocean. You can walk, ride a gondola, or if you're really adventurous, ride a donkey. We chose to stay closer to the cliff top in our explorations. Mike and Lori were here 35 years ago and wanted to visit their favorite Taverna from that trip. We asked a few locals and checked Google maps and set off. Google Maps said 1.7 kilometers, so it's not a problem. Up up up, we went then down and then up again. Finally, we made it to the Blue Note only to find out it was a totally different place. The original was closed. It was a bit of a disappointment but we enjoyed a cold drink and the beautiful view. The bus ride home was a great opportunity to rest after exploring Fira. We had a nice dinner at Black Stone, a family run restaurant recommended by our hotel.Læs mere
