Santorini Day 1+2

  1. Ferry trip
  2. Car up the mountain
  3. Dinner at a great restaurant
  4. Went to Thira for a look around - long walk there and back

 

Ferry Trips

Yesterday I went on 2 ferries. I went from Crete to Athens and then to Santorini. 10 hours plus 8 hours. These ferries did not have wings or magic wands, but they did have elevators, escalators, a children's play area, a garage for hundreds of cars, shops, a cafeteria, and a cafe/restaurant, one of them had 9 floors, cabins for sleeping in - our cabin number was 8258B and we had our own bathroom in our cabin.

Our first boat

 

In Santorini

Today we went to breakfast in the new hotel "Heliotopos" (delicious). (By the way Heliotopos means sunny place)

I had chocolate cake and cereal. Mum was not happy.

 

Thira

After that I went to Thira, the main town on the island, where I did some huge jumps.

Up

 

And

Down

 

Then we had Gyros for lunch and I got an Ice cream. A Gyro is meat , vegetables and chips wrapped in Greek bread.

I feel that Santorini is better than Crete because…

 

The island is much more beautiful place.


People go out of their way to help you. People also learn English so they can understand you. You might say “ Santorini feels more touristy ” but this would be because you have not been to many parts of the island yet. This is my favourite Greek island so far.


Place we go next : Naxos and then Rome.

Book I'm reading : The Kane Chronicles By : Rick Riordan. I am loving it
