    Today, we enjoyed an amazing day visiting the beautiful island of Fira, Santorini. After disembarking the ship tender, we opted for the cable car ride up the hillside to the town of Fira rather than ride the donkeys. We took a few pictures of the view, then stopped at a fantastic bakery for morning snacks before meeting up with our tour guide, Angelo.

    Our first stop was the picturesque town of Oia on the far side of the island. We did some shopping, took in the views, and made a stop at Lolita's for the most delicious gelato.

    Our next stop was the Three Bells of Fira church - another beautiful viewpoint. Angelo then recommended a stop for lunch at The Vine in Fira. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and a spectacular view!

    After lunch, we visited the Metropolitan Church of the Presentation of the Lord and then did a bit more shopping before returning to the ship.    Read more
