(This is part of a trip report, using United miles to fly business class for five flights, costing $86 and 160,000 miles, and the value of this trip was $11,758. I flew from the USA to Istanbul to Africa to Seychelles to Greece!)
Santorini was magnificent and a place I’ve always wanted to visit. I flew there on Turkish Air, still using that original United Air multi-city booking – what a deal! But of course, we had paid flights from Athens to Santorini ~ Aegean Air!
We stayed at Anemoessa Villa, near Oia. It was a simple room with a pool and a sunset view!
Our first day, we did the Oia to Fira hike and those beautiful views of the caldera were worth it! The walk is approximately six miles and will take two hours plus. (Be sure to wear sunscreen and bring water). We stopped for lemonade in Imerovigli and then took transport to Fira, where we ate and walked around the town.
One afternoon we enjoyed a sunset cruise; there are no words, just look at these pictures…
Walking around Oia was such fun, and the bay there is so very Greek. We just loved all the Greek food – the salads are unbelievably delicious!
Our last evening was spent at the Lioyerma Café Pool for sunset views.
Next, two more Greek isles, then home…
Ellan it all looks wonderful. Bill says, how do you get such cheap fares???
You look so relaxed on the boat. We were entering in as much as possible.
Its good you are making the most of your opportunities to see the world.
Anyway “where in the world are you?”
