Beautiful Santorini-A city built on a volcano

Thursday morning we pulled up outside the cliffs of Santorini. What a unique and beautiful city!!  We rode the cable car up the side of the cliff to the town on top. Donkeys were the other mode of transportation but we were cautioned against this.  





Up on top we found beautiful panoramic vistas from everywhere we looked. We explored down narrow streets to find beautiful churches and buildings such as these.





That evening on the ship, the choir participated in the ship wide talent show. They were fantastic and the cruise director and many of our fellow passengers were very impressed with our group.

We got into port early Friday morning in Athens and went back to pick up some last minute souvenirs at the flea market and Plaka shopping areas.  Walking through these areas, it was amazing to come across ruins such as those below in the neighborhoods.
For our last night in Athens, we visited a small amusement park in the city.  The kids enjoyed being dropped and spun around.











Goodbye Athens! Thanks for the wonderful memories- we'll be home soon!
