2008 June ~ Santorini, Greece

Well Tim and I finally went back to Greece for a much needed relaxing vacation. We stayed at a resort called Mira Mare, directly across from the beach in Perivolos. www.miramare-resort.gr For us this was a perfect time because the tourist haven't flocked in yet - we weren't waiting in lines for anything and pretty much guaranteed a spot on the beach. Just about a mile and half up the road was another town called Perissima ~ we spent a lot of time up there checking out different restaurants. We tried traditional dishes such as Mousaka, Greek salads and baklava. We enjoyed the area so much we didn't want to do much of anything else. We did go to a Santorini Festival ~ which included wine tasting, an excellent Greek buffet and traditional Greek music and dancing. We also rented a car one day and drove to Fira (Thira), Oia (IA) and Red Beach. Other than that we were content hanging out on the beach or walking around the towns nearby. The last day was extremely windy - so I guess it was a good time to go.
