Early morning Tuesday, Kevin and Laurel flew back from Rhodes. Their flight was so early (7am) that they didn't even have time for breakfast. Misty and I slept in a bit and had a leisurely breakfast, since our flight wasn't until the afternoon. Taking a late breakfast meant that everyone else in the hotel was there, so it was a bit annoying. After breakfast, we packed up our luggage and then strolled through Old Town to take care of a few errands such as buying some stamps, going to the ATM. Then we headed back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and made the trek to the bus station to save some money vs. taxi or the hotel's driver. The bus station was a little more difficult to find that we had hoped, and we went passed it by quite a ways and had to double back.
We flew from Rhodes to Athens, with a couple hour layover in Athens, and then from Athens to Santorini. Each flight was about an hour and they both went quickly. Security at both Rhodes and Athens (yes, you have to go through again), was a joke as usual. The flights went fine, and quick.
When we got to Santorini, there was thick fog everywhere. We heard from other people staying at the hotel that later flights were having trouble landing and were potentially going to have to turn back to Athens. By the time we got to our hotel and got situated, it was completely socked in with no visibility, and with fog so thick that we could see the power lines sparking with the moisture. We headed out for a late dinner and found a great meal at a little place called Aktaion. They had one of the best Greek salads we had on the entire trip. For the main dish we had pasta.
