From Monday to Thursday of this week, I was on Santorini with my friend Lucy from CYA and her friend from home, Sophie, who is currently studying abroad in England. It was as beautiful as everyone said it would be even though it wasn’t the season for visitors! The classic white-washed walls and blue domes and doors is exactly what we saw in the cities here.
On our first day we explored the town of Fira, rode donkeys up and down the mountainside for about a 30 minute ride and went on a nice hike. Fira was beautiful with winding streets, beautiful boutiques and nice cafes with views of the caldera. The donkeys were definitely fun, but much more unstable than we expected and the poor things were sweating bullets and it was only April! I can’t imagine how hard they are worked in the summer and I almost wish we hadn’t done it. But they looked like they were treated well enough! More pictures to come…the order is a bit scrambled.
