Day 8 – Santorini
We went back to Thira to see some of the views that the city promised. We had gotten there after dark the night before, so we were unable to see all the buildings on the cliffs. So we stayed there and did a little shopping and sight-seeing (and sitting when necessary).
We then walked back to our hotel and relaxed by the pool and took it easy in the afternoon heat.
All the information books about Santorini tell visitors to go to the town of Oia to watch the sunset. So we did as did everyone else. We had to do a little exploring to find a lookout where there weren’t already bunches of people stationed, and even once we found a spot it eventually filled up. No worries though, it was still nice. However, for all the talk about the “not to miss sunsets in Santorini” we weren’t that impressed. I think we saw nicer ones in Thessalonia and Athens, but it was still enjoyable. Then we wandered to a restaurant for dinner. One of the nice things about the restaurants here is that they all have open air seating, with umbrellas for when the sun is still out. Prague had it too during the nice weather, and it is certainly something we will miss once we get back home.
