Yesterday night we found a great place to eat on the beach a short walk from our pad. While searching for a place we were approached by a Scottish man who worked at Charlina (the restaurant) and we asked him what their happy hour was like....well the owner said free wine with dinner, and we were set. We had some really great dishes like lamb, mussels, pizza and pasticho, and some decent wine. It was right on the beach and we got a table right in the front. Later we went to a couple bars and ended up at a club the owner of Charlina recommended and danced the night away.
Now to the car (I know you are freaking out) haha....The Island is pretty small and easily navigabl
e but you have to take a bus or car from one end to another and we wanted to see it...so for 30 euro we hopped into our Hyundai Getz (click for pic) and set off for Fira. The car was Great! We had a lot of room and it goes fast...and off road haha. After lunch of Lamb Pitas and a walk around the town we followed directions from a silly Albanian man that served us lunch to the beach....his directions consisted of "No left, no left, then a left" and a curvy motion with his hands...haha welll the road was different than expected and we ended up in a ravine with NOTHING around us but the Aegean Sea and some donkeys. Sam was an excellent driver and after thinking we were going to pop a tire going up some rocks we found a great black beach (no not the nude kind)After our adventure off-roading, we headed for Oia for the sunset. If you have e
ver seen a picture of Greece or the Greek Islands, you probably have seen a pic of Oia. The houses and buildings are crammed on the tip of Santorini and are gorgeous! You can see the entire Sea practically and the sunset was great to look at from here. We had a good dinner overlooking the Sea and are now safely back in Perissa. Tomorrow we are exploring more beaches and getting our tan on!That's all from Greece today!

Enjoying your posts. If you think Greece is great wait until you get to Italy. As you are finding out the less populated place are the most fun. Keep the blogs coming otherwise your Nanny thinks you have been kidnapped by the Gypsies.
Love
Nanny and Pappa
