Guys, it's finally time to say goodbye to Santorini, and Hotel Sunny Villas, easily one of the most unique hotels in the world.
Here's a last look.
Greece: Santorini, Cat and...
Dog.
That was what this cute cat was intently gazing at.
Wasn't at all fazed when I went right up with my camera.
Greece: Santorini, Skaros Rock
Certainly one of the most unique places to stay would be inside a cave, wouldn't you say?
Hotel Sunny Villas, with its incredible caldera and sunset views, was one such place and with it being situated in front of the famed Skaros Rock, it was an ideal location for a morning hike.
Now, I'm not a hiker, and not an adventure seeker, either, so seeing a well-trodden path on Skaros made me feel confident about this type of hike.
Then we met a group who had just done the hike and were resting at the foot of it, amongst them was an older lady with a cane.
They told us that there's a hidden CHURCH on the other side of Skaros Rock, that is only accessible if you hike over some fallen rocks, which, when you approach them, appear to be the end of the road. However if you hike OVER these trecherous rocks (with a sheer drop on the other side) the path continues on down to the church. With an incredible view.
And a closer view of Heaven I thought, if I slipped.
BUT.
The old lady did it.
So we gave it a go, and of course at the pile of fallen rocks, the camera was put away, but you can see that they were right.
Totally worth it.
Heaven, on earth.
Greece: Santorini, Breakfast, Buses + Beaches
Although simple, the breakfast provided at the Hotel Sunny Villas was perfect and satiated us on our bus trip out to the black sand beaches for the day. One of the things that surprised me was seeing a Metro newspaper stand on the black sand beach! And seeing actual prickly pear plants!
Change in and out of your swim suit in here: Oh Hai!
Greece: Santorini, Favourites
Allow me to share some of my favourite shots from Santorini.
Greece: Santorini, Green + Blue
How about throwing in some green in there for a change?
Greece: Mykonos, The Town
The next day we took the shuttle bus into downtown Mykonos. What an incredibly stunning place Mykonos is. Would love to go back, it's absolutely gorgeous. Blue and white paint? Check. Churches? Check. Narrow cobblestone walkways? Check. But who knew about the stray cats? So cute!
MLK Weekend: Provincetown, MA
As it was our first MLK weekend here in Boston, we decided a day trip was in order. Onwards to Cape Cod, we drove. Destination: the tip, mainly: Provincetown, MA.
Although it was a blustery cold January day and almost everything was closed until the Spring, we enjoyed walking around, eating some fudge and ended up having dinner at a fantastic little restaurant on the water, watching the sunset.
