Santorini!

Santorini is only an 8 hour ferry ride from Athens... being college kids we purchased the cheapest tickets possible, leaving us on the deck exposed to all sorts of crazy- wind, chilly temperatures, and other Americans who felt it was appropriate to blast their music on speakers.

one of the islands before getting to santorini. we wanted to visit because of all the stories we heard from other friends how wonderful the island is. and the girls had to check out where "sisterhood of the traveling pants" was filmed

our quaint little hotel


blue domes!

gyros- hands down my favorite food from all of the eurotrip. i suspect the pita was deep fried as well =]
Oia at dusk

sunset over Oia. we were unfortunate enough to run into clouds so the sun never hit the water before it dissapeared.
the ship that took us across the waters to a local volcanic island

the view from the volcano. i suspect if the weather were nicer we could see Oia and Fira perfectly.
Fira!
and the 600+ steps the donkeys would climb before reaching Fira from the port.
more oia, it was really beautiful.
aha- Frappe, a most delicious iced coffee and sugar concoction. the original frappachino i suppose
