Day 9 – Santorini and Athens
We did even less on this day than we did on the others, but mostly because of needing to check out of the hotel at 11, and being back at the hotel at 2:30 for our shuttle to the port. No worries though, we went back to Thira, had a late breakfast. I got a thick, homemade waffle. I hadn’t had a waffle in almost a year, and it definitely hit the pregnant-lady spot! I really enjoyed this town, for all its winding, narrow streets and shops. Even it you don’t do a lot of shopping (which we certainly didn’t) it is an enjoyable atmosphere to be around.
Went back to the hotel where the world’s friendliest hotel owner gave us a ride to the port. She was easily one of the nicest, friendliest, most helpful people we’ve met. If the hotel was just average, she made it great.
Hopped back onto the ferry. This time we were in business class because they were sold out of economy tickets when we booked. Oh my goodness – there was a world of difference between the two classes!! It had plush cushy seats, a waiter serving us food, air conditioning, and just simply comfortable all around. And the funny thing is, there was not a huge price different between the two classes and we regret not splurging for the first trip, but at least this way we can appreciate it much more.
Our ferry was about 20 minutes late arriving, which was fine except for the fact that we missed the last subway train into the city, so we had to get a taxi, but we got to our nice hotel quickly. This last hotel was incredibly nice, and we absolutely loved it!!
As it was already one in the morning, we went straight to sleep in our cozy bed.
