Santorini


I'll start out with a few blanket statements that sum up my 2 1/2 days in Santorini:
1. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been too.
2. The people were extremely nice
3. I will go there for my honeymoon
4. I could have stayed there forever

We didn't do anything specific that was really the highlight of Santorini (aka ATV's in Corfu), But we stayed in an adorable hotel, watched the sunset both nights (once in the area by our hotel and the other night in Ia) I had tons of tzatziki, looked at the adorable jewelry shops, saw Red and Black sand beaches and did a wine tasting for 2.50 euro.

The people also loved us, which is nice after lots of people not liking that we're form the US in different parts of Europe. At every meal we got something free. At breakfast it was a delicious traditional Greek pastry, but of course I don't know the name. One of the nights we went to dinner at "Mama's House" which was absolutely delicious. I got a stuffed eggplant, filled with meat and vegetables and topped with feta then baked. A few of us shared some wine, and as we finished it "Papa" the owener, brought another on the house. He then goes "Want to know why I'm giving all the tables free alcohol tonight?" We asked why and in a very loud, sing song voice and huge smile across his face he goes "Cause I got divorced todayyyy!" and cackles as he walked away smiling. He had no wedding ring on so it could be true.

I was definitely bummed to leave Santorini. My pictures will never do it justice, but I know I will make it back there one day.
