Hey everyone
Have now uploaded all pictures from yesterday so scroll down if you didn't see those :)
Today we went on a Santorini bucket list day tour. Note everyone went, it was just me, Gracie, Luke, Adam, Dave and Jake (and Tom of course!!).
We started off the day by going to Perissia and the black beach. Santorini is next to a volcano, and the ash from an eruption long ago has caused the sand here to be black. We had an omelette at the restaurant there which was delicious. Then played some beach volleyball and chilled out on the beach.
Next stop was the red beach. This sand is red due to lava from long ago! Firstly here we had an ice cream and then went to the Minoan civilisation excavation site. The Minoans were here in the 17th century BC and then evacuated as they were able to predict eruption through tremors.
The beach was nice but the rocks really hurt our feet here so didn't swim properly.
Our last stop was the Santo Winery. The view was absolutely stunning, such a beautiful day. I took lots of photos!!! We tasted a few wines. My favourite is Nektiri (no idea if that's how you spell it!!).
Tonight we are going to the town of Oia (pronounced Ia) to watch the sunset and have a picnic dinner. I'll try post about that tmro night. Tmro we leave for Ios which is a massive party island. It'll be much easier for me to post daily when I'm by myself :)
Love to all
This place is incredible and I'm definitely coming back one day!!
