Santorini

Santorini.


Tenders to the old port, and from there to Oia. Oia did live up to it's reputation for postcard views.  I had some espresso and Lisa had cappuccino with a phyllo-feta-sesame-honey sauce. Great!  Another chapel (small), then a black sand beach.
The winery was mainly exceptional for the views. The white was a nice, simple, dry wine; the red was medium-bodied, a little unbalanced; Lisa didn't care for it but she doesn't like tannic wines. I found it quite drinkable. The desert wine was more sherry-like; we agreed it would make a nice after dinner drink.  I was disappointed not to learn about the way they make the vines into baskets to protect them from the wind.



Nice buffet lunch at the Pyrgos Restaurant.
