"Rain, rain go away" - Kamari, Santorini

Day 4

We woke up to another nice breakfast from Adamis Majesty. Again, eating enough to last us until dinner. We then caught the bus just in time to go to Kamari, a beach town on the other side of Santorini, where we will be staying for 2 nights. We were dropped off in the center of Kamari. Not knowing exactly where our hotel was, we mistakenly asked a guy standing in front of a restaurant called No Name. After he pointed us in the right direction, we trekked our way up to our hotel, the Aegean View Hotel. Although not as nice as Adamis Majesty, it was clean and very spacious for a studio.


Today was our alloted beach day in Santorini. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, the sun tried to come out, and we eventually had some light rain. We did get to spend an hour laying on Kamari's black sand (rocky) beach. One thing that we haven't seen before in Santorini were Asian people walking up and down the beach holding signs for massages. We passed because it wasn't cheap, plus we're going to Thailand soon and it'll be really cheap!


The long walkway along Kamari beach is filled with restaurants, each with a guy trying to get you to eat at their restaurant. We pass by the guy from No Name again and he tries to get us to sit down. We tell him we'll come back later. We ended up eating at the Crepe Academy on the beach. Theresa was craving crepes the other night. Our waiter was cool and not as pushy as the others.

On the walk home after dinner, we were debating whether or not to walk past the same guy who helped us earlier. We had previously taken side streets just to avoid talking to him again. This time, we decided to walk through because we didn't see him. Then out of nowhere, he pops out. This time he seemed annoyed that we were not sitting down, giving us a guilt trip because he helped us earlier in the day. We told him that we'll come by tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow is his day off.

For tomorrow, we reserved a smartcar for a second attempt at exploring more of the beaches.
