Arrived in Santorini yesterday afternoon. The slow Ferry ride was very nice and relaxing.
The Ferry stopped at three other islands on the way to Santorini.
We arrived Santorini around 3:30 monday. Thought we had transfer arranged from the port to the hotel, but ended up taking a taxi. Which was not bad. Because we shared the taxi we got to see another village on the island before arriving were we are staying in the village of Perissa. Arrived at the hotel only to discover his computer booking system had made a mistake and he didnt have a room for us. But he had made arrangments for us to stay at a hotel down the road for the one night. So we got a bonus !! Two places for the price of one. Kind of a bummer to have to move again, but the place we stayed monday night was very cute.. Horrible shower !!! And stupid twin beds again!
Tuesday morning got up and tried to find a place to do some laundry. Come to find out no public laundry. Only a service laundry. So we paid the 9 euro to have our laundry done and we went to the beach. Perissa Beach is pretty cool. On one side of street is the beach the other side is restaurant and shops.
Once we got moved we went up to the main street and got a few snacks and breakfast for wed. Today Wed. we are doing a tour. Santorini in a day. will see the island and then go by boat to the volcano and swim in the hot springs. then to a smaller island for lunch. Back to Santorini. to the village of Oia to watch the sunset. Time to leave for tour.. will post pics and more tomorrow.
