Today was our last day in Santorini, and it sure was a great one!
We didn't get a great night's sleep because some obnoxious kids were yelling all night. But we had breakfast and checked out of room in the morning and made the best of our day. The hostel is letting us store our bags for the day, so we went straight to the Red Sand beach in Akrotiri.
It was a little out there, and you have to hike to get to the beach. But it was beautiful out, and we stayed there until 6! There weren't many other people at the beach, just an Austrian girl filming her music video. Haha, Yeah I know - kind of random. I chatted with her for a bit. I think she said the name of her song is Miracle of the Lioness - guess I'll have to look that one up when I get home. :)
When we left, we had the bus drop us off at Santo Wines. It's a winery just on the outskirts of Fira. We did a tasting of 6 different wines. They were all pretty good, but they said they specialize in whites. We hurried out of there so we could catch the 7:40 bus, but when it was 10 minutes late, we took the first cab that drove by.
We had him drop us off near The Corner so we could have our dessert and say goodbye to Lena and the other people that work there before going back to the hostel.
We had just enough time to change and wait for our transfer to the port. Our ferry leaves at midnight and we have a sleeping cabin, so it should be pretty nice.
We're both sad to leave Santorini. We were sad to leave the other places too, but we were always going somewhere new - this time it feels over. :(
We just heard about the Iceland volcano erupting, and that flights are getting canceled in major European airports- if ours is canceled, we may just come back to Santorini!
We still have one full day in Athens tomorrow, so we'll see what changes with the ash in that time.
