A Day In Santorini

I’m sitting on my balcony watching the tenders go back and forth, sipping coffee, and enjoying the lovely view.

We are going to be in port until 9 tonight so no need to rush off with the crowds. Besides I’m thinking of staying a little later and maybe catching a sunset.

This cruise has been wonderful. We’ve met some really great folks from all over the world. Last night we had dinner with a man we met on tour in Athens. His wife was a little under the weather from her excursion in Ephesus yesterday. It was pretty darn hot.

One of the many things I love about Celebrity is escargot every night. Plus they have many different flavors of ice cream.

So we took the tender to Santorini and paid 6 Euros each for the cable car ride to the top. It was another 6 each to go back down. We could walk but they didn’t advise that.

We arrived at the top for a spectacular view.

We are so happy not to be on a tour today!!!

We walked around the lovely streets of Firo. A lot of very white buildings.

We stopped in The Art of the Loom Gallery which is a coop of several local artists. They have 3 locations. We were in the Orion Gallery which focuses on sculptures and compositions. The artists have created some truly beautiful and unique pieces of art!

We stopped for a cappuccino and baklava at Kamares. The baklava was delicious.

We visited the Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

I found some graffiti but no canons!

We stopped for a smoothie and I forgot to take a picture!

And some more photos around Firo on Santorini.

Tomorrow we are off to Mykonos!
