We got up early this morning to catch our Aegean Air flight to Santorini. While Aegean Air has been awarded the best regional airline in Europe, we both agree it should also be awarded for having the most attractive flight attendants. Sorry, no pictures.
Once we arrived to Santorini, we took a taxi into the town of Fira, where we will be staying for 2 nights. We entered into the door of our hotel, Adamis Majesty, and were instantly wowed. Check out the video of the entrance to our hotel (http://picasaweb.google.com/
We decided to have lunch at Taverna Nikolas. It was good, but probably not worth the long lines. After lunch, we explored Fira a little more. It reminded us of Capri, Italy, a high-end small beach town with unique shops. After our walk, we came back for a much needed siesta and woke up just in time for a picture perfect sunset.
On the way to dinner, a couple of Greek street vendors busted out, "Ni Hao Ma" and "Konichiwa" to us. Thanks for making us feel at home! For dinner, we went to Naoussa, a #1 pick for restaurants in Fira based on Trip Advisor. Best meal of the day. We had mussels in a feta cheese and tomato sauce, grilled octopus, which was very tender and flavorful, and grilled swordfish filet. Theresa really liked our side of potatoes roasted with rosemary and olive oil.Ending the night with a drink, we plan to head to the nearby village of Oia tomorrow.
OH. MY. GOSH. I can't get over your bathroom at the hotel. Probably the most amazing bathroom I've ever seen. I hate to admit it but I would probably come up with excuses to just hang out in that bathroom all day. Well, except that your view from your room was so exceptional that I might be swayed to spend some time out there as well. I'm loving reading your blog. Can't wait to see where your travels take you. Cheers! Savannah (Wolach)
