Santorini Sunsets

From Mykonos, We got on the ferry for about 4 hours. The ferries are kind of cool, they’re situated like airplane seating but on a boat, A James Bond Boat. You can get food, watch the European Music Channel and walk on the deck. Certainly not like the Staten Island Ferry.

 

We got the port of Thira and grabbed the bus up the long coiling cliffs towards the town center, Fira. Literally Santorini is a big ole mountain, the road are nothing but cliffs. The only cities that has those luscious Blue Domes and White housing and shops are Fira and the more popular city of Oia. To be honest everything off of that is more like countryside, including our little hotel. We had these 2 Greek old married couple that had no business owning a business anymore. But we couldn’t complain because they were old and cute.

 I was so persistent on going to the jet black sand beach in Perissa.

“I'll put a string a pearls right in your hand
Make love on a beach of jet black sand
Outside in the rain we can do it all night
Out to tour the places he would not
And some you never knew would get you hot
Nothin' is forbidden when we touch..."

You guys know the rest…. Who knew Joe was trying to put us on geographically back then! Thanks Joe!

 

We ate on the beach and came back into town, bought our ferry tickets for the next stop and walked around Fira. So beautiful, the shopping is amazing, the sites at night are amazing. And I finally was able to have a Gyro, Pronounced Hero to the Greeks. You haven’t had a Gyro until you had one in Greece. Oh and the coffee forget about it. Straight addicted!!!! I was on a Gyro and coffee diet for the next remaining days.

The following afternoon we ventured to Oia. Its super clean, White architecture and a Honeymoon paradise. We enjoyed a traditional Greek lunch of Greek salad and Yogurt. We made sure to take lots of pictures and then we relaxed pool side. In Oia the sunset is the main attraction, We made our way to a rooftop restaurant early to confirm our seating and it was breathtaking. Later, I was able to enjoy a fish pedicure which feels like little electrical shocks. I don't know how to explain the sensation, It’s just weird. But my feet did feel soft.

 

 

The next day we prepared to catch the bus to the ferry into Milos and as we walked up the road with our bags in tow. 2 big ass dogs begin to bark and run towards us! I thought we were done! We had nowhere to run but we were running and screaming! Finally we looked back and the dog just stopped, I believe he was guarding his territory or protecting some pups or maybe it was just God. We were just relieved, we decided that a cab would be the best option at this point.We grabbed our bags in which we left across the street and hopped in a taxi.

Next Stop Milos!
