| Our View from our patio |
Seen all the postcards and warehouse framed prints of this island but it really is something special when you see it with your own eyes. Narrow little pathways wind between the white washed plastered houses perched on the side of the cliffs. We have a really great studio apartment in Imerovigla village with a patio bathed in sunshine and with the most spectacular views of the Caldera.Therer are only 8 rooms in our hotel and we have a nice pool .Santorini is an active underwater volcano & the villagers are built on the very edges of the crater lake ( Caldera) This morning we walked about 40 minutes to the main Village of Thira. Lots of people ( there are 3 cruise ships in port at the moment), shopping and restaurants.Smaller boats leave for trips out to islands in the Caldera. To access the boats you have to get a cable car or ride donkeys down the cliff.
Much to our surprise we are lovin the greek food, zuchini & tomatoes fritters, Tzakti, Souvalaki,fried cheese ( like haulomi) Baklavas and simply the best greek yoghurt I have ever eaten with honey. Chris likes the kid goat ( I joke you not ) and Mousaka.
Tonight we are going to the best restaurant on the island ( according to Alexandros frm our hotel and trip advisor )so are really lookin forward to that.
