A Whirlwind Week
It seems like yesterday when we were in Mykonos. In truth, we've been to Santorini and Crete, and arrived today on the Greek island of Rhodes. Somewhere along the way I lost several days to an upper respiratory infection and a trip to the urgent care clinic in Chania, Crete. Even so, we managed to do plenty and see much of these spectacular places. Rob even made me climb a steep mountain to get to Red Beach (a fav nude beach, especially for Germans, it seems) near Matala in Crete. I've included several of my fav places below (sorry, no nude pics). And, with antibiotics I'm back among the living. We're on Rhodes for three days, then Cyprus!
Our hotel on Santorini, the Volcano View.
Early morning view to the west.
Santorini sunset.
We explored both Fira and Oia, the two tiny towns on Santorini, but they were both very touristy with tons of souvenir shops. We took lots of pictures though--there are stunning churches and mosques here.
St. James cathedral in Oia, Santorini.
We spent a lovely afternoon on a catamaran cruise while on Santorini.
I'll put up another post with images from Crete, the largest of the Greek Islands, of which there are 150.
