Athens and Santorini



View from our Balcony

What a view! Priceless

We arrive in Santorini late at night after spending the entire afternoon and evening just getting from Istanbul.  But, it sure was worth it!
Everywhere you look, the views are just spectacular.  It is the quintessential tourist trap and and absolute pleasure.
We hired a quad bike for the day and rode over the entire island, 40 kms long.  We loaded up all of our laundry on the bike and dropped it off at the laundromat for pick up 2 hours later.
We rode uphill and down dale, stopped for coffee, lunch, a look at a few beaches - great fun.
All good things have to come to an end, and we headed back to Athens.
It was a "How to see Athens in 3 hours" tour.  Will wanted to see his famous "Antikythera mechanism" which was on display at the Archeological museum.
The copies that were made of the original lived up to his expectations.

We then headed off to the Acropolis and Parthenon for a lightning visit.  Just so Will could see it in person.
