One of the many highlights on Santorini is the sunsets. We were advised to head to Oia, the most northern part of the island and to book a table for dinner. Our lovely lady, Stavroula at reception organised us the best table and the best restaurant.
We arrived, and had to wind our way through the tiny cobble stoned laneway streets, up and down stairs to find the place. There were people everywhere. The streets are really only about 2 people wide, so anyone who stops to look at something or turn around to see where their friend is or stops to take a photo, everybody on the street has to stop as well. There was a lot of tutting and sighing..... and not just by me!
When we got there we weren't disappointed at all.
I think the pictures tell the story.... However, I will just add that our driver dropped us off at 7 and our booking was for 7 and that he would be ready to head back to Fira (where we were staying) at 9pm, so after the sun had gone down at about 8.10ish, we finished off our bottle of wine and raced back to the bus to be there on time. When we arrived there he stopped us at the door and said, "oh no, we're not going to leave until 10pm." There were 2 other couples on our bus and they'd already been back and had the same information, so we couldn't just wait for them and suggest we all go at 9..... so poor us, we had to schlep back up the steps and find a bar to sit in for an hour. This would normally have been fine, but we were tired after a massivo day and wanted to head home.
Also.... I had dum down wid dumthing. But please don't let that detract from the lovely vistas that await you below.
Efcharisto Santorini
After the sun went down - people clapped!
On the way home, Lu got talking to one of the guys on the bus and it turns out that he works at the same hospital that she does! Honestly, is there anyone she doesn't know?
