Day 7: Santorini

My seventh day in Greece was spent on the island of Santorini!

My last destination! Santorini, a beautiful island, once destroyed by a volcano eruption centuries ago.

Visiting Santorini now, I took a trail through the spine of the Island; walking past unique white houses and buildings which many contain the same blue colored roof. 

The hike along with the rugged physical geography allows you to have a nice workout.

This island contains the most magnificent views overlooking the Aegean sea perhaps in all of Greece.

Day 6: Mykonos Island

The sixth day in Greece, I spent on Mykonos Island. 

During our day in Mykonos, we spent most of the time on the beach. My mom wanted to see the shops and explore the different touristy things to do. Basically, we went from shop to shop and then when we got tired we went to restaurant to restaurant and ate until we couldn’t eat anymore.

There will be a lot of enjoyable food, in the town’s waterfront Paris Quarter. The best food I ate on the whole trip was eaten while we were at Mykonos island! It was so delicious and the vibe of the island was very fun and energetic.

Mykonos has a lively nightlife that is sure to be a great time, especially because of its party­hard reputation. I wasn’t expecting there to be so much partying on this island, but that’s because I didn’t know what I was in for when we decided to come here (not really, anyway).

This is how crazy the nightlife is on the island

Day 5: Athens (Day 2)!

The second day in Athens is when we saw the Parthenon. 

The Parthenon is the famous site on the Acropolis. Since we checked out the Acropolis yesterday, we got to take more time today and look at the actual Parthenon as well.

The Parthenon is one of the most famous sites in Greece.

Parthenon: [Religious] My stop at the parthenon can relate in a religious aspect because it is a former temple that was built in honor of Goddess Athena.

Athena

The people of Athens considered Athena to be the patron goddess of their great city, which is why the temple is so important to the religion of the ancient Greeks.

If you look closely you can see statues of Athena built into the temple ruins
