• Santorini to Paros

    September 20 in Greece ⋅ 🌬 24 °C

    The bus picked us up at the hotel and took us to the port for our ferry to Paros. We'd forgotten how crazy the road to the port was. If anything, the way down was even more intense. The traffic was wild with so many buses and trucks traveling in both directions. We had to stop at almost every turn to let someone get by. When we reached the ferry terminal, it was a mad house, so many people. We still had an hour till our ferry came, and there were hundreds of people waiting. Lots of crowding in the hot sun and some people trying to cut to the front of the line. At one point, getting on the ferry, I was pushed from two different directions and pushed right back. Not a proud moment. The ride wasn't as long, and the island looked beautiful as we left the ferry. Our hotel was in an older neighborhood, and our rooms had patios that looked out on a football pitch. The hotel was a bit of a letdown after the Terra Blue, but our bed was comfortable. We walked to the waterfront for dinner at a restaurant the woman at the front desk at Panorama recommended. The food and service were good. We walked a bit and picked up water, beer, and diet coke. You can't drink the water on Paros.Read more
