When we were in Santorini we had planned on taking the bus to Akrotiri. Do not plan this as the schedule is not condusive to touring. Ended up taking a cab and asking the driver to wait for us. A word of caution to the ladies...use the restrooms in Fira before heading to Akrotiri.



Unless you have managed with the restrooms in Turkey (holes in floor) you will be better off in Fira. Lunch in Fira is the best. We did stop off at winery on the road back to Fira. Had a couple of bottles of wine and really enjoyed just hanging out there.



Take note when you are there of all of the cats. They are everywhere. Upon returning one of my travelmates gave me a calendar of the Cats of Santorini for Christmas. It was wonderful.



After lunch in Fira try taking the bus to Oia. The bus travels quite fast along the narrow twisting road following the crest of the volcano rim. Often times the tail of the bus is hanging over the cliff. Quite exciting :)
