    Unmissable, but visit this wonderful, small (but rich in findings) museum BEFORE you go to Akrotiri.
    Don’t miss the downstairs where all the amazing frescos are (except those in the dedicated Thera Room in the National Archeology Museum in Athens), but don’t miss the golden “ibex” upstairs!

    Had a lovely time at this wine tasting. It was not busy and so we did not feel rushed. Took their time to answer questions and let us enjoy the wines.

    Took the cable car down to the cruise ship. Was later in the evening as the sun was setting. No big lines for us, had to only wait maybe 10-15 minutes. If busy, I would suggest taking the stairs that start right near the cable car entrance.

    We don't drink, but we went for a cooking class and lunch. What a great experience! The class covered the differences in types of Olive oil, we fixed Santorinian Salad, Tomato fritters, Fava, Lamb Kleftiko, and Ryzogalo. The "lunch for two" was enough to feed four and we had a great late afternoon snack.

    This is a beautiful church and we enjoyed today’s mass with the most welcoming and kind priest. We were in the area celebrating our 40th anniversary, and attended the Sunday morning mass, which just happened to be on marriage and love ❤️ . People from all over the world were in attendance, and it was such a joy to hear all the different languages being spoken during the service.

    The Cathedral Church of Candlemas of the Lord in Thira is perched in a prominent site. The views surrounding the church are spectacular, offering an impressive view of the Santorini landscape. Free to enter, the church is absolutely stunning.

    The M. Lignos Folklore Museum is a wonderful place to discover the traditional life and culture of the area. Well-organized and filled with fascinating exhibits, it offers a unique opportunity to travel back in time. If you're in the area, it's definitely a visit worth making!

    We walked down the steps and caught the cable car back up. The walk is interesting with all the donkeys but it is just the smell from the animals that is offputting.

    We had no intention of purchasing anything significant in Greece. However we found this wonderful art gallery amid the bustle of Thira. Nicholas showed us a number of paintings, was very knowledgeable about their artists and convinced us to invest. The whole proces was conducted very professionally.
