Sightseeing is really fantastic, but can be pretty exhausting so it was great to finally make it to a place that we could relax. Once we got to Santorini, everything became a lot easier, especially transportation. We were picked up directly from the port by the owner of the bed and breakfast we stayed at and he pointed out places to eat and things to see on the drive to our rooms. The rooms that we stayed in were beautiful and clean and both rooms had balconies with amazing views of the ocean.
We rested for a little while in our rooms, then set out to see the town of Fira. We rented a couple of ATV's for only 15 euros per day and explored the island a bit. We found some donkeys to pet and feed, ate some really delicious pastries, and went window shopping in the town.
We spent the rest of our time in Santorini exploring the beaches and the picturesque town of Oia, famous for its cascade of whitewashed buildings and of course, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Stephanie and I found Permissa beach, a local favorite, and were even able to get Mexican food at a place called Senor Zorba's! (If you have seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you should remember Dancing Zorba's)
Greece is an amazing place that everyone should try to see at some point in their lives, but after it was all over, it felt good to be back home in Florence.
Pahahahaha! Mand! That donkey picture IS suuuuper funny! I love how you girls are becoming little photographers. So proud!
