The weather continued to be cold, foggy, and down right weird on our second day in Santorini. We were socked in and it was so sad because we knew that the blue waters were there surrounding us. We were both a bit tired so we spent the morning and early afternoon just hanging out in the room, downloading pictures, and writing post cards.
We finally emerged long enough to walk around a bit and grab a bite at Mama Thira's. We found reviews for a place called Mama's so we thought this was it. They don't have formal addresses in Santorini so we found it a bit difficult at first to find anything. It is a small enough town/island though that we figured it out quick enough.
Mama Thira's was a quiet place with great food. The Santorini salad (a bit of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, croutons, and big capers) was the best salad of the entire trip! We also had a nice pork dish, a tasty sauce with peppers. The decor is simple but nice, they have 3 wreaths hanging on their wall. These are the wreaths that they wrap the wine grapes in to protect them from the wind. We saw the grapes wrapped up all over the island. They are really beautiful.
We walked around more. The wind whipped around us and the fog clung to the steep cliff walls. We decided to go to a restaurant for dinner that was in our guide book. Naoussa is the name. This place was packed and we have no idea why. The noise was awful, the food was also bad, and there was no view, just walls. Bleck! Even the reviews online were ok for this place. Very strange.
