Today we woke up and it was sunny and beautiful outside! What a difference a day makes! We ate outside for breakfast overlooking the caldera and the islands off of Santorini. It was beautiful. We decided since the weather was so nice we wanted to go on a boat ride around the island. We found one that had availability for their "sunset cruise" that left at 3pm. So we had a while to take a walk around Oia and take some pictures. Kevin was able to find the spot to...

What storms! Last night the wind picked up and it stormed hard! Thankfully our cave room kept us nice and dry. Unfortunately we didn't get great sleep due to the storms so it was a very slow morning. It was still incredibly windy when we did wake up for breakfast. We descended the stairs down the cliffside to the main pool area. Breakfast was served inside so we had some respite from the wind - until the power went out! The morning was off to a great start. ...

Today was a long day of traveling! We got up early, ate breakfast and said our goodbyes to some of the nicest hotel staff I've ever encountered!

While we did see some sheep and goat herds, I was surprised that we didn't see more given that they are so well known for their cheeses. We saw a lot of fields with yellow flowers, which we were told were must...

Today we slept in a little bit and after breakfast were excited to hear that Grande Meteora, the largest of the six active monasteries in Meteora, was open! We started off our trip with a visit to Agios Nicholas (270 steps), one of the lowest by elevation of the monasteries and possibly our least favorite out of all of them. It had nice views, but the inside wasn't the nicest. We were not deterred though, so we climbed up to Roussanou (190 steps), our first m...

After our short, one night stay, we left Delphi this morning and drove about three hours to Kalambaka. Our drive took us up and down mountain passes, through groves of olive trees and past lots of farms and fields. Most fields are very small while the olive groves seem to go on forever! We checked into Hotel Dellas in Kalambaka and chatted with the desk clerk about all the things to do here. The most striking thing as you arrive in Kalambaka is the mount...
