Every day a surprise, every day a unique experience. Sea Cloud spent the night in the caldera at Santorini and we started our day with the amazing picture of the blue Aegean and the caldera in front of our eyes when we woke up, waiting for us to explore them. The local tender boat took us out and we drove up through the island of Santorini. First was Oia, the traditional city of the island, with whitewashed houses and blue domed churches. We shopped, explored, and walked all over before enjoying a drink in the cafes that overlooked the great view of the caldera. Leaving Oia we then went to lunch and tasted the local flavors and the famous products of the island.
Our day in Santorini wouldn’t be complete without visiting the museum and prehistoric city, buried under the pumice of the volcano for some 3,000 years. We admired the art of the times in the museum, and then went to the great surprise, the actual city of 1628 B.C.
Going back to Sea Cloud in the afternoon was refreshing. After a wonderful dinner the day was completed with the famous sunset before leaving the island. There was one more surprise before the night ended when the crew sang sea shanties for us. It was a very good day before we said goodnight.
