We finish the Cyclades trip with Santorini. I had a real crush on the volcano and hot springs – it was a great experience, and the village of Oia, so picturesque and pleasant. But, in my opinion, three days in enough.

The Caldeira

Afrodete Hotel, Firostefani

Clean and well-decorated rooms. The view of the small pool from the ground floor room is great !

Firostefani to Fira

       

 

Nea Kameni – The Volcano

  

From the Old Port of Santorini

You can go around in less than an hour

Amazing lunar landscape surrounded by the sea

Almost on Mars

Amazing view of the Caldeira

   

Palea Kameni – Hot Springs

This excursion (Volcano + Hot Springs) takes approx 3 hours, from 11:00 to 14:00 or 14:00 to 17:00 (high season) – 20€

From the Old Port you can go by donkey. A little creepy but fun and a good experience at low prices !

Sunset in Fira

  

Beaches Tour : Red Beach, White Beach, Black Beach

Boats full of people, small private beaches of pebbles, no shade. A nice boating activity but nothing exceptional, for me the beaches doesn’t worth it.

                              Red Beach                                                               White Beach

   

 

Ammoudi

A pleasure to get lost in these streets before a good meal in a fresh fish restaurant

   

Oia

      

Pretty little village, Oia (pronounced Ia), is “the place to be”. Picturesque alleys, breathtaking views, beautiful little restaurants …

          

The sunset is obviously amazing, but I do not think it is worth the wait and the crowd present (this is really an adventure, trust me !)

    

Oh Greece, you caught my heart !

The end.
