After our 8 hour ferry ride we arrived at beautiful Santorini. We already had our hotel (I would call it a hostel, but it was actually a hotel at hostel prices) booked and there was a man at the port to pick us up. We arrived at the place we where staying and where blown away at how nice it was. Located pretty much on the beach, it had a nice pool, bar and great lounge with a big screen TV. We got a private room with a balcony and kitchenette all for 12 Euro a night. We even got to do laundry for free. That evening we took a walk around the beach town, had some dinner and scoped out the 4 wheelers we wanted to rent the next day.
The next day we rented the 4 wheelers we found. Most of the quads being rented where small 50cc things, very similar to what we rented in Corfu. That day we decided to pay the extra 10 euro and rented a 320cc machine and a 250. Needless to say they where quick and well worth the money to blow by the slow guys. So we hit the road and check ed out the island. After a small stop we decided to get up to the highest point on the island. It ahd a great view/. It was on top of this hill when Joel realized his camera was missing. Not a good feeling. He had just taken pictures with it 20 minutes earlier so we figured it must have somehow fallen out of the bag after the last stop. So we backtracked a little and it was not looking very good. Luckily, after going to the final logical place it could be Scott found the camera, what a relief. As it tuned out Joel must have left the camera in his pocket and after attempting some doughnuts in the parking lot it fell out. The rest of the day was great. We went to the small towns, found some small beaches and just had fun seeing the island. Santorini is supposed to have the best sunset in Greece so that evening we went to a great vantage point on one of the cliffs and had some dinner while the sun set. We had a little more gas to burn so we drove around a little bit and then headed back to the hotel.
The next day was fairly uneventful. We hung out on the beach, put in some computer time and bought our ferry tickets to get to our next destination, Ios. That night we put in some time at the pool bar and then went to a small bar down the road with some people from the hotel.
The next day we had a leisurely check out and hopped on the 1 pm ferry to Ios.
