24th June- At the hotel breakfast this morning I meet two other single travelers that plan on catching the first bus up to Meteora so we can travel together for the day. Headed out from the hotel at 830 and it is already a hot day. Caught the bus from the main KTEA bus station up to Varlaam. This monastery is reached by climbing up nearly 200 stairs. Once inside the gates you walk into this beautiful courtyard that provides incredible views over the surrounding...

It provided great views over the area and we could see the volcanic island and how Santorini used to be a large circular island then the volcano expl...

20th June - Slightly slow start to the day the late night. Headed down to breakast which was very disappointing after the delicious dinner the hotel had served us the night before. Had to Check out at 11am so didn't leave much time for anything. Walked back into the town to try and take some photos. At the start of the holiday I was crazy taking photos of everything and now I forget the camera in the hotel room or it's left at the bottom of bag... the island is ...
