Day 4: Guided tour of Santorini

This morning we had a privately guided tour of the beautiful island of Santorini.  First stop was Oia (pronounced Ee-aa) arguably one of the most beautiful villages in the world and the scene of countless classic Greek postcards and sunset pictures.   Later we visited the famous Kamari black sand beach. A storm had come up that morning and we watched great waves pound the beach.  After a traditional Greek lunch we had a relaxing afternoon to shop in Thira followed by our own food party in the evening.
