Once we made it to the top, the view was stunning. That's our ship, the Crown Princess, in the foreground. As you can see, it's a fairly busy harbour! One of the other ships was called "Costa Fortuna", we kid you not!
We wove our way through narrow streets full of tourists, up and down many more steps, until we found the local bus stop. For €2.8 return each we took the trip to Oia, the town on the postcards. We found ourselves a bar with a view
and enjoyed a cheap local beer and wine, and a free loo. The toilet itself was worth the price, the Greek public WCs are seriouly bad! Wandering through the town, on a wide path of beautiful white marble was indescribable. Photos really don't do it justice.
On our bus trip back we had to stand, crammed in among many other tourists. But our do-it-youself day cost a few euros - if we had done the tour for $99 American each, we would have done exactly the same things and missed the excitement of the crowded bus and the donkeys!
Hopefully in this shot you can see the zig-zag path and the cable car. This was taken from the nightclub on the 18th floor where we watched our departure from Santorini.
