Travelog post for: Orpheus

Hi,

I can’t believe I am actually in Greece  . We spent the first few days exploring the hotel...



...and checking out the beach.




Of course, even a TV needs to relax sometimes, so we enjoyed a bit of sunbathing 



But soon it was time to explore the island and Sigfrido and myself started planning where to go. Apparently the crescent shape of the island is due to a volcano that exploded in the middle of the bay (what now is the bay, but actually is a caldera) a few thousand years ago...I wonder if I should be concerned 



Our first destination will be Fira, the main town on the island. Here I am on the bus.



And I am exploring the town, the views are incredible 







Later we went visiting the old harbour. We could have made our way down the cliff riding donkeys, but Sigfrido said that a moose riding a donkey could have been a bit awkward  so we took the cable-car. Almost down...



This harbour is only for smaller vessels as the big ships make port at the new harbour a bit further down the coast.





Such  great day  , but eventually it was time to get back to the hotel and have some rest.
