Climb the volcano, walk up to the hill at Thirasia, back to main island and walk from the port up to IA for sunset, dinner back in Perissa after catch the bus in Fira - it was a VERY long day. |
|
 |
Early morning (really early ... like 7 or 8am) I'm already walking along the street lol ... get a salad in supermarket for breakfast - but REALLY sour! can't believe it *tongue out* I've bought a boat trip ticket to the volcano Island in the middle of the island (Island Nea Kameni) so before that, I try to take some time to explore more of the west side of the Santorini - but when I try to walk toward Ancient Thira (which doesn't look so far from my hostel) I realized it was far away on the hill ... so ok ... walk back |
 |
the end of Perissa beach, there's a nice church (Orthodox Monastery.. of course) |
 |
Bus arrived and on my way back to the port again - meet some nice girls in the hostel, Erin from the States base in Germany, Devon from Canada, Pora from Korea - Erin already went there yesterday so Me, Pora and Devon going to the port together - but Devon take another boat so I stay with Pora the whole day :-) |
 |
The boat get from the main port (Athoinios port) to the old port below main captial Fira city to pick up more passengers. |
 |
Arrived to the Island. 2 Euro to enter please (yeah .. another 2 euro!) |
 |
I smell the sulfur ... ouch There's some area of the volcano looks really YELLOW, but didn't know why I haven't take photo of it - or I already did taken but they doesn't look that yellow in the photo. |
 |
After walked like a dog, the view around made me feel that its worth it! anyways it was the first time in my life to climb the volcano though! |
 |
Now I know how hard of Mr. Frodo and Sam to climb that hell crazy volcano ... I'm just walking on a not active one and I feel like exhausted |
 |
Get back to the boat |
 |
AND the hot springs - but those who jump into that 10 meters deep water said, the water wasn't that warm though |
 |
........ and more walk!!! |
 |
Pora and I keep walking up and that day guess we lost a lot of calroies......... The road was very deep and long, the sun was really strong, and after our walk on the volcano made it even harder. You can pay to ride on the donkey to get up there, but ... I just don't want to. |
 |
Ohhhhhhhhhh cats! :-D There's really lots of local houese there ... but not too big different with the other islands. No time to walk to the back of the island as the boat will leave soon... doh |
 |
Back to the port ... get a drink (gosh... that save my life) |
 |
Getting back to IA ... the rocks are red! |
 |
Surprised it was another dockey's xxxt road ... walking all the hell way up again! but this time, not even half as hard as the road in Thirasia... |
 |
View from getting up the road to IA... very beautiful |
 |
Finally get to the town |
 |
The little shops ... cute |
 |
WOW ... these are what I saw in post cards / books some time ... SWEET! |
 |
Then from here I took tonnes of photos ... |
 |
Great to have such a sweet young girl to get around with me - thanks Pora :-) |
 |
Kylie and Greece.... finally ... I MADE IT! |
 |
Time to get back to the sunset place |
 |
This is the sunset of IA - not as beaufiul as seeing it live but .... Enjoy .... ! |
 |
Geting back to the bus stop in IA to get the bus to Fira, then take the bus from Fira to Perissa -- very tired but very happy |
 |
Dinner time - Devon had a great trip by her self as well (too bad our boat time not match) we had dinner and chat together for the night :-) So tomorrow i'm leaving Santorini and have more than a half day - planning to go to the main city, Fira! |
