Day 7 – Santorini
Our time in Santorini was most definitely laid back. We didn’t do a ton of stuff, but that was exactly what we wanted to do. We never set the alarm, woke up when we were ready and even then took our time. Still, I do not feel like we ever really wasted time.
After waking up the first day and eating breakfast, we took a bus to one of the many beaches in Santorini. Our hotel owner told us which bus to take and suggested the best beach considering the windy weather. We went to one called Red Beach, named because of the red volcanic rock surrounding the water. It was small, and a bit crowded, but we found some chairs and an umbrella and called it a day. The water was so clear and cool and perfect. We got some grapes as a snack and stayed at the beach until we were hungry again.
We had a late lunch at a little restaurant on the beach and took the bus back to our hotel where we had yet another nap.
Then we headed to the main town of the island called Thira, where we enjoyed dinner at a restaurant overlooking the town and then walked around the cute, winding streets filled with shops. One thing that greatly surprised me (especially after Prague) was the fact that these shops were still open at 11pm – even the little boutiques! We didn’t do much shopping, but the fact that things were still open made the streets feel alive.
