After Santorini we had a return trip back to Athens before we flew back home! It was quite warm, so we spent the day at the National Archeological Museum which had a lot to see! We did some shopping and had a gorgeous rooftop dinner for our last Greek meal complete with a stunning sunset! All in all a wonderful trip!!
Greece Vacation: Santorini
Lovely Santorini- my favorite spot on the whole trip! The scenery was everything I had imagined about Greece- steep cliffs, blue water, white buildings with blue domes...it was gorgeous! The black beaches of Santorini: Our little studio hotel Sunset the first night I love doors! We rented a car to get around the island which was a HUGE help! The red beach This fun door was at the Santos Winery- so picture perfect! Donkeys!
We took a hike between the 2 main towns early the morning. The views were breathtaking and worth the 5.5 mile hike! Ammoudi Bay! This is where a lot of "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" was filmed.
Where Lena fell into the water! :) "Sisterhood" photo! Trying to replicate this! Delicious last meal! Our last day we took a catamaran sunset boat tour- it was gorgeous and we were able to get out and swim in the clear blue water.
Greece Vacation Series- Part 2: Mykonos
Our first island stop was Mykonos and it did not disappoint! Our hotel was gorgeous and you walked right out onto the beach. The weather was perfect and the white buildings were breathtaking. By law they actually have to paint their buildings white once a year! Dinner at a garden terrace restaurant!
The beach view from our hotel We took a cooking class as Mykonian Spiti and Teta gave as an amazing and personal cooking class where we learned about Greek culture and food- it was a highlight for all of us! (and the best food by far!) Sunset by the water and the windmills- so beautiful!Mykonos is famous for it's nightlife, so we made some friends and participated in a little night life fun!
