Greece-Santorini Antiquities Museum and Wineries (Day 123)

We took a very relaxed day on Santorini since we’d done so much the previous day.  We started by visiting the Antiquities Museum.  It was a cool little place recovered from an ancient city on Santorini.

Pots with swallows.

Wall paintings from the House of Ladies (yes what you are thinking)

Wall paintings of the blue monkeys.

Little golden calf.


It was a cool little museum.

The plan for the rest of the day was to visit some of Santorini’s wineries.

I blew the bus departure time so we had 30 minutes to kill and took a walk to the Fira caldera overlook.

Volcan Wines.

They had these caves with a strange little museum down there.

It was like a really old theme park and the figures moved too.

It was cool though as it talked about how Santorini wines are different from Italy or French wine because they do not water the grapes because there is not enough water.


Then we exited the muesum and got to taste some wine.  It was really cool because this place was setup for big tour buses but we were there all alone.

Rick and his donkey.

We walked down the road and found another tasting room to have some more wines.  Yum.

For dinner we went just down the street from Villa Rose to a nice little place.

For sunset we went just up the road from Villa Rose to the edge of the cliff and watched the sunset over Thirasia.
