Day 9 Santorini Island Part 2 - Pyrgos Village and Village of Oia

 Day 9, after breakfast, tour to Pyrgos, a village found at the highest point of Santorini, with panoramic views of the whole island all the way to the village of Oia, which will be our final point of destination.



I love how the blue dome  roof stands out among all the white buildings.







After sightseeing Pyrgos Village, we took the coach and visit Oia Village.

The village of Oia is the most photographed place in Greece, best known for its best stop of the day is thatching sunsets. The village is approximately 150 metres above sea level. This distance is covered by waling up the traditional steps (250 steps) or by riding donkeys.  Smallwhite houses tier the hillside, interspersed by splashes of rich okra, deep fuchsia, cobalt blue , ayster pink and earthy red.


There's lots of shops along the narrow alleys between the many white and blue buildings. If visit during Summer, it would be super crowded. Glad we came during Autumn where the crowd is lesser.















Donkeys spotted in one of the alleys.
After spending much time walking and sightseeing among all the white buildings, we rested and have dinner while waiting for the sun to set. The restaurant is high up on the hill top and we had a very good view of the sun setting and the great ocean. The weather is very cooling too. We actually felt very chilling especially when the sun is setting. The restaurant staff had to light up the heater to keep the customers warm.


We order some salmon, pull meat and tacos. 


We also ordered pork trotters.







Beautiful sun setting.









I really enjoyed myself in Greece, especially in Santorini Island.
