      Erst Pflicht, dann Kür

      10. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Gestern haben Roswitha und ich dann endlich die Top Sehenswürdigkeit von Amorgos besucht. Ein Kloster (Panagia Chozoviotissa), dass in eine Felswand hinein gebaut wurde. Dieser Tage leben nur noch zwei ca. 70-jhrg. Mönche und ein Novize dort - aber es ist dennoch ein wichtiges religiöses Zentrum in den Kykladen.

      Und am Nachmittag haben wir uns dann gemütliche Lesestunden im Café gegönnt, bedacht von einem dichten Bougainvillea Teppich.

      Und: ich habe mein erstes "U-Boot" probiert: Fondant mit Mastix auf einem Löffel, der in ein Glas eiskaltes Wasser versenkt wird.

      Tag der Begegnungen

      3. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Heute war's drollig: mir sind lauter putzige Tierchen über den Weg gelaufen. Bergkatzen, Bergkühe, Bergraupen, ein kleiner Welpe - und am Schluss noch Ulrike (ohne Foto, aber trotzdem nett 😊)

      Der Plan war, es heute eher lau anzugehen, nur eben kurz nach Faros zu wandern und mich dort faul an den Strand zu setzen.

      Aber dann gab's auf dem Weg wieder so viel zu sehen.... 😁

      Insel Delos

      31. maj 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Heute sind wir mit der Fähre von Mykonos nach Delos gefahren. Delos war früher das Zentrum von Griechenland. Dort hat es viele Ruinen von Häusern und Stadien. Wir sind auch noch ca. 15min. auf einen Hügel gelaufen. Dort haben wir Pfirsiche und Chips gegessen. Nachher haben wir noch Bilder aus Mosaik angeschaut. Dann sind wir zurück zum Schiff gelaufen weil die nächste Fähre schon bald fuhr. Am Ende sind wir mit der Fähre wieder zurück gefahren.Læs mere

    • Rule #11 (Mykonos & Delos)

      14. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

      * there is no rule against repeating a rule, in this case, rule #10 ~
      13 day vacation with 10 days at sea…also makes it easier to forget what day it is

      Visited Delos today - not really my thing (hope I’m not sounding ungrateful)… Archeological site…
      ALSO - a tour guide definitely makes or breaks the excursion…

      ALSO ALSO - don’t pet the kitties - someone was bit by one of them and was taken to the local hospital 😬

      ALSO ALSO ALSO - The excursion was 5 hours and during the last 1.5 hours I was able to explore the town (AKA shop) and that was the best part of the day 😂

      Schnorcheln in Lia Beach

      30. maj 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      Heute waren wir in Lia Beach Schnorcheln 🤿. Zuerst sind wir mit einem Taxi 🚕 nach Lia- Beach gefahren. Das mit den Taxis hier ist ein bisschen speziell, denn hier bezahlt man, wie viele Personen mit dem Taxi fahren und nicht einfach das Auto. Als wir angekommen sind, haben wir zuerst unsere Badesachen angezogen. Danach hat jeder von uns einen Neopren Anzug, eine Taucherbrille, einen Schnorchel und Schwimmflossen bekommen. Dann sind wir mit einem Boot raus zu einem Riff gefahren. Es sind aber auch ein paar Leute mit uns mit dem Boot 🚤 rausgekommen, die aber mit einer Sauerstoffflasche getaucht sind. Wir sind dann rausgeschwommen und haben uns das Riff angeschaut. Es hatte zwar keine Korallen aber es war trotzdem schön. Wir haben auch ein paar Fische gesehen, einer war besonders farbig. Es war trotz des Neopren Anzuges sehr kalt 🥶, deshalb sind wir nicht sehr lange im Wasser 💦 geblieben. Danach sind wir wieder zurück gegangen und haben die Taucher-Ausrüstung zurück gegeben. Weil wir noch ein bisschen am Strand bleiben wollten, haben wir zwei Liegestühle gemietet. Sie waren sehr teuer (15 € pro Stuhl und Tag), aber es hatte sonst am Strand nirgends Schatten, darum haben wir es dann bezahlt. Danach sind wir ungefähr eine Stunde zu einem Restaurant gelaufen bei dem wir dann Znacht gegessen haben. Weil es zum laufen zu weit gewesen wäre, sind wir mit dem Taxi 🚕 zurückgefahren. Und sind dann schlafen 😴 gegangen.Læs mere

    • Rule #8 (Santorini)

      12. juni 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      Never Say Never - I never thought in my wildest dreams, that I would see the whitewashed houses with contrasting blue rooftops that line the hillsides in Greece (let alone did I ever think I would take a trip half way around the world by myself)Læs mere

      Oia

      24. juli 2023, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      We head out on a tour today by combining with another small group staying next door at the Hotel Greco.

      The trip takes us to the archeological site of Akrotiri discovered in 1967 when archeologists spoke with local farmers and fishermen about man made pieces they had been finding over some time.

      The settlement was destroyed in the Theran eruption sometime in the 16th century BC and was buried in volcanic ash, which preserved the remains of fine frescoes and many objects and artworks that we saw here and the museum in town.

      Only 10% of an ancient civilization has been excavated. The site is covered, and boardwalks built so you can walk around to see what they revealed. Our tour guide Yanni gave us an excellent insight into what happened here. It is older than Pompeii. The indigenous people had three story homes that had sewerage systems flushing with seawater. The ladies were the planners, and the men did the hard labour. The eruptions and tsunamis destroyed everything, but the site shows they knew it was coming as they have not yet discovered human remains.

      Next stop we visited is one of Santorini’s best wineries . Domaine Sigalos presented four wines with a small meze. The dessert wine was popular with the group. The vineyard grapes are ripe and harvesting starts next week.

      Now for the highlight of Santorini.

      Oia is a coastal town on the northwestern tip of Santorini island. The town has whitewashed houses carved into the rugged clifftops, and overlooks a vast caldera which is what Greeks call the water in the middle of the volcano.

      We went to Oia about ten years ago and we promised each other we would return one day and here we are. It is almost impossible to take a poor photo here. Just about every Greek advertisement for holidays use this location because the blue and white is brilliant. The history of the two colors is that they combine the two worlds of the earth and sky. The blue is only allowed on churches. Did not disappoint and was well worth the journey.

      We battled the masses and returned to our hotel. In the evening we caught a local bus to another sunset location and then wandered back to Fira. It was busy but we found a gyros place and ate late.

      Tomorrow is move on day. News is filtering through about the wildfires and evacuation of tourists on Rhodes Island. We will keep an eye on our plans.

      Happy birthday Jonah!

      6. oktober 2022, Grækenland ⋅ 🌬 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!

      Santorini Summit and Kamari Beach

      17. juli 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

      We drove from Oia to Profitis Ilias and took in the island views from Santorini’s highest point. From here you get a 360 view of the entire island. Also at the top of this mountain, is the Monastery of the Prophet Elijah where 9 monks live.

      The wind was pretty fierce all day and we learned that an island slogan is “Santorini, where everyday is a bad hair day.” Being at the highest point and the fierce wind gave us our crazy hair pictures.

      Our final tour stop was at Kamari Beach which is at the southeastern side of Santorini. Because of the volcanic ash, the beaches have black “sand” which to me doesn’t really qualify as sand like our beaches back home. This “sand” as they call it is more like black rocks, and I’m not sure how people were walking around barefoot on it. Although it was a hot day, the water felt chilly and because it was so windy, there were whitecaps and strong waves.

      We spent some time walking on the boardwalk where every restaurant had a view of the beach serving an array of fresh seafood. The boardwalk was filled with various shops, restaurants, and hotels. This would be a great place to stay for a beach vacation.

      Estate Argyros Winery

      17. juli 2022, Grækenland ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

      Our guide recommended the 8th generation winery called Estate Argyros Winery not far from the Kamari beach area and right beside the Santorini Brewing Company…which, unfortunately was closed today, a Sunday. She dropped us off at the winery where we enjoyed a wine and food pairing tasting with a tour. This winery prioduces 400,000 bottles per year and exports 60% of it. Most of the grapes they grow are white grapes, about 80% versus much fewer red grapes. The tasting room was extremely modern and had incredible lightning. The winery is undergoing an expansion, and this location started in 2014 and was completed in 2018, with more construction to increase wine production.

      We tried 4 wines today:

      1 - Assyrtiko - the most popular grape with 100-120 yr old vines, recommended to drink w food, this wine can hold for up to 10 years which will reduce the acidity

      2 - Athiri - an aromatic grape, easy to drink and ready to drink now, this is our favorite and we ended up buying a bottle to take home

      3 - Vinsanto - sweet dessert wine

      4 - Rose - blend of white and red varietals

      We also took a short tour to learn more about the unique wine production in the area. The guide shared the 2 different ways they grow the grapes. It’s very unique in that the grapes are on the ground versus hanging down. The grapes don’t grow in soil, but in volcanic ash. Because it’s in volcanic ash, they don’t have to use pesticides. The main way of growing the grapes is twisting the vines into a circular formation that looks like a bird’s nest. The “vine nest” traps the morning humidity providing the perfect climate for grape growing. Because there are fewer red grapes, they are trying to find new ways of growing them to increase production.
