Fira, Santorini - Jewel of the Seas Greek Isles Travel Blog

 The bus finally appeared at our meeting point and we again snagged a seat at the front in order to be fast off. The drive from Oia to Fira took about 20 minutes with “traffic”meaning all the 4 wheelers on the road wouldn’t get out of the way.  There is a walking trail from Oia to Fira that I’ve heard is beautiful, but around 6 miles…I need to check that info out.   When we got off the bus we had a short walk through streets filled with homes to get to the tourist area.     We stopped in a screen printing shop I wanted to buy these but didn’t...I’ve regretted it ever since ☹️   The views are just breathtaking everywhere you look     can you spot the cable cars below?   We walked aroud in Fira for quite a while before finally deciding to make the trek down the donkey stairs to our tender back to ship.  I think I actually cried a little as we walked down…saying goodbye to this beautiful place and checking it off my bucket list. I thought I’d never see it again...
