Towards Angali Bay Angali Bay
Snorkelled and sunbathed all morning. There was no wind and the sea was flat calm and crystal clear. Returned to the hotel to get the minibus down to the port. The ferry was only half an hour late. Stopped at Sikinos, Ios and Thirassia before arriving at Athinios port on Santorini. A car met me and took me to Nissos Thira Hotel, arriving about 7pm. Had dinner with Alan and Elena in an expensive restaurant.

Wed 19th: Walked out of town heading for Vourvoulos, but took a wrong turning and ended up at the sewage works. Eventually got back on the right road and looked over a nice property under construction at Pori. Continued on to Koulombos beach. Swam and sunbathed for several hours, disturbed only by dogs and Americans. Had to hit one on the nose.

Set off back at 4pm. Passed a couple of lines of mules being taken to their winter grazing pastures. Got back to the hotel at about 6pm and had a swim in the pool. I've seen nobody else using it. Went to see the copies of the Akrotiri frescoes at the Nomikos Centre, then had dinner at the 'Greeks' restaurant near the museum. Afterwards I wandered round the expensive shops looking at paintings I couldn't possibly buy.

Thu 20th: Went to the Archaeological and Prehistorical Museums, both of which contain pottery, seals and other artefacts from Ancient Thira and Akrotiri. Returned to the hotel to check out before noon, then had lunch at the café up the road. The Nomikos minibus collected me from the hotel at 1:15 for the drive to the airport. Flew to Manchester.
