Oia

After a relaxed start to the day we caught the local bus from Fira to Oia (a township located about 10 km from Fira and situated at the tip of the island) and then wandered around the small streets enjoying the views. . At one stage we picked up a canine friend who also seemed quite interested in what was over the edge. Maybe he thought the view was better over his side... or perhaps the dog had just dropped his camera. Quite a lot of dogs were scattered around the place but they seemed friendly and for the most part they were sleeping (this one had even found himself a sofa bed!)..

Oia has similar style housing to Firostefani where we are staying but came across a couple of windmills in our travels.

We had a leisurely lunch (photo is of our view from the balcony) and then filled in time until sunset - Oia has a reputation for stunning sunsets. However, the publicity must be well and truly out as there were crowds of people lined up in the streets to take photos as the sun went down and we decided we had actually seen just as good sunsets from our balcony back at the Villa so caught the next bus back (before all the photo tourists decided to return).

Thats about it for today - tomorrow we are going to see how energetic we feel before deciding whether to do a full day or short trip to the volcano but as its our last day in Santorini we have to be organised to check out in the morning and then be back by 7 pm to get our taxi to the airport. Tomorrow night will be travelling to Athens so you might not get an update until we have both time and internet connection again.
