🧿A spur of the moment decision led to a 9 night trip to Greece end of October 2023. Flights were just £16 for my son and £19 for myself with EasyJet from Bristol to Crete. We also booked a ferry to Santorini for a few nights which were £13 each from Crete then flights back to Gatwick 5 days later all for the same price as what a 4nt package holiday would have cost us!! Here's what we got up to...🧿
Day 5 - Oia & Pyrgos Santorini 🇬🇷 30th of October
The ferry arrived on time in Santorini from Crete after our delay and our taxi driver was waiting at the port for us. The ferry ride was super smooth with loads of seating and a few eating/drinking areas open throughout. We slept on and off which helped.
We arrived at our hotel in Oia - Loakasti hotel at around 6am and we were told we could stay until our taxi to Pyrgos arrives that night at 7pm which was brilliant! So we had a few hours sleep, got up for breakfast then went back to the room to chill for a few hours. I went into the pool which was cold but bareable - it was so nice and helped my puffy feet?!
It was very quiet at the hotel with only another couple to be seen besides the staff.
At around 2pm, we went into Oia and spent all day wandering the streets, eating salads and icecream.
We were really surprised how quiet the town was considering there were around 7k cruise people in port that day and Oia and Fira are the main towns they go to! It was so lovely!
More people came on buses towards sunset and headed to the castle area to watch.
It was cloudy for most of the day but really hot! We were going to walk down to Amoudi bay which Jon and I did in 2016 but decided against it!
We went back to our room, gathered our bag and met the taxi driver who took us to Pyrgos village which is the highest village on the island.
I booked taxis through booking . Com as I’m genius level 3 so have a good discount off - no problems at all and really friendly.
A porter met us by the main road and helped us with our bags up to our cave suite - Gods View which was near the castle right at the top of Pyrgos.
We stayed near by last year but I had forgotten how tough the walk is up there!
Later, we went to Brusco meze bar and restaurant and shared a platter for two for €18 - it was so good!!!
