After breakfast, we transfer to Mykonos port for our morning speed ferry to Santorini Island. The trip took about 2 hours.
The ferry is huge and stable, no sea sickness. Inside the ferry there's a small cafe selling snacks, sandwiches, coffee, tea, drinks etc
We went up to the upper deck to view the ocean and the very blue sea.
It was a great day and nice weather. It was very windy and we swayed from left to right at times when the ferry moves hahaha but no sea sickness at all. I love the sea breeze and the cool weather.

The second stop where the ferry stop to pick people, we could see people queueing to board the ferry from the upper deck.
Finally, after 2 hours, we reached Santorini Island. Ten minutes before reaching the port, everyone scrambles down to the lower deck of the ferry to collect luggages. We did same too. It was like a refugee situation hahaha. So dark and so many people and dragging our luggages.
The whole Greece trip was fun and relaxing except the boarding and disembarkation of ferries that could be quite chaotic at times as we need to queue in the cold weather and dragging our luggages.
On arrival on Santorini Island, we boarded the coach to sightsee.
The bus go up the hill and we could see port from the above.
There's a lot of white and blue church on the islands.
Two people hugging is actually the image of the whole island of Santorini.
We were introduced to the beauty and fame of Fira Town and caldera by a walking tour around its narrow streets and its typical small white churches and blue domes, restaurants and boutiques.
This is how beautiful the ocean around the island is, lots of cruise ship docked in the middle of the sea and small boats brought tourists from the big ship to the island.
Ship passengers can take the cable cars up to the hill.
We had lunch at one of the cafe bar looking over the hills and ocean. Very relaxing and nice feeling and we enjoyed the cool autumn breeze too.
Club sandwiches. The sandwiches were for 2 people but I think we can easily shared by four of us, we actually ordered two plates hahaha. Could not finished so we takeaway the balance back to our hotel.
I really fall in love with Santorini.
After a nice sightseeing and walking tour, we went back to our hotel located near the beach.
The hotel is very beautiful and the room very spacious.
It comes with a balcony looking towards the swimming pool.
At night, the hotel looked amazing.
At night, we walked towards the beach to have our dinner.
The sea view is fantastic but very very cold at night as it was autumn.
Decided to have dinner at this restaurant recommended by the hotel porter.
Garlic bread (complimentary)
I ordered some milkshake
Love the pizza more than enough for the four of us.
Some grilled squid, beef , fries and salad
Complimentary grapes
Enjoyed our dinner very much and went back hotel for a good night sleep.
