    Happy birthday Jonah!

    October 6, 2022 in Greece ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    Today was our dedicated day to see what exists in Santorini outside our villa. We decided to use Jonah's birthday as a good excuse to splurge on a land and sea tour run by a local family company. The land component took us to some beautiful locations and was accompanied by an incredible, enthusiastic, encyclopaedic explanation of the entire history of the Phoenicians, Mycenaeans, Minoans, Greeks, Byzantines, Ottomans and all their friends and enemies. Thank goodness there wasn't a quiz at the end.

    The catamaran trip was simply stunning. We weren't as glam as some of the yachts at the marina, but it was perfect for us. A husband and wife team took us along some of the most stunning coastline while feeding us with homecooked food and keeping us entertained. Thanks Thomas and Eli!    Read more
