We didn't spend long in Athens. Long enough to find the cheapest tent possible for camping, a ticket to one of the islands, and baklava. The next ferry leaving was to Santorini - so we took it. That night we camped on
Santorini, then the following day we rented a Scooter and went beach hunting.
We "buzzed" around all day, and found a few smaller, empty beaches. Late noon, we headed north to Oia, to see the sunset. Oia is the beautiful white-washed town built along the hill.
...however everyone else in Greece also wanted to see the sunset there.
Oia is a really incredible town. It sits on the corner of Santorini, an island formed when a volcano blew out the middle - shaping the island like a big C. According to myth, the layout of the town was designed to slow down invading pirates, so the streets all twist and turn in a crazy maze. Getting lost was part of the fun there.
