Our trip to Greece could not have been more perfect. We spent our days on the water in an 18th century sailing ship or swimming in the crystal clear waters of Amoudi Bay. We dined on the most delicious Greek food and flavorful wine. 

On our first day we went on the Bella and Thalassa tour that took us around the Aegean Sea, onto the Volcano of Santorini, into the lukewarm hot springs, and into the bay to watch the remarkable sunset. We tried Ouzo on the rocks while we ate traditional Greek appetizers.

After our truly unforgettable day we arrived back into the port and rode donkeys up the 400 ft. cliffs that encompass this islands scenery. We made our way to Alexanders Boutique where we were spending the night and had a late dinner at a local family owned restaurant. We finished off the night drinking all types of local wines and liquors and relaxing in the cool refreshing air. The island was truly our own private paradise.
