Santorini Saturday

Another cloudless day in Santorini, warm sun and cool air. Had crossiant and chocolate milk, then packed our bags for the beach.

Stopped by our regular ‘Quick Shop’ and picked up sandwich’s and drinks and headed to Perissa Beach. It is on the other side of the huge white rock and is an extended Black Beach like the one we went Friday. The sand was black and HOT, if you were going to be walking you sure needed shoes or flip flops to keep your feet from burning. All of the entrances to the beach have wooden walkways leading to the umbrella areas.

The street that runs along the beach is about two miles long and is all shops and restaurants up and down the beach. We stayed there till about2 pm…our white dog from the day before came to see us again…then we packed up and headed back to the hotel.

Stayed in and brought dinner in…Souflaki…and sat on the balcony and ate and watched the sunset. On the way back today we checked the bus schedules to go from Thira to the boat docks to catch our boat tomorrow afternoon. Will get up early and make that trip to Oia, then back in time to check out, run the bags to the bus station, return the scooter (just down the street from the bus station) then hop on the bus.

Santorini, for all you Headley’s, was named after Saint Irene…thus Santorini. So guess Irene (or Irean) was named after a Greek Island!!!

It’s been a wonderful visit with beautiful sights.
