Our morning started with a lovely breakfast on our balcony. All the hotels serve traditional complimentary Greek breakfasts. Greek yogurt, breads, and ham and eggs. All were delicious. We rented a car for our time in Santorini and made our way out to Kamari beach. It is on the southern side of the island and has black sand beaches. We met a nice older couple who had just come from Mykonos and stayed at the Vencia where we will be staying, and they said it is very nice. We relaxed and read until early afternoon. We then headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner in Oia, the most picturesque part of the island. Our hotel had made us reservations at a nice restaurant on the water with a view of the sunset. Unfortunately, we got a bit lost looking for it and ended up missing the reservation. We did get to watch the sun set over Oia and then ate dinner on a terrace overlooking the Caldera. Our new food wasn't that exotic because the menu was fairly standard. We got fried feta with sesame seed and honey. It was very good. We spent some time walking through Oia after dinner and then made our way back to the hotel. I was exhausted, and Chris was wide awake. We have adjusted pretty well the time difference but still getting completely used to it. Hopefully, tomorrow... Overall ,a lovely, relaxing day.
