Sunset Chasers

​Greece has always been one of those places I dreamed of visiting; every picture I've ever seen from the Greek Islands are postcard perfect, the colors are vibrant, everyone is always smiling, and the food looks delicious. And from the pictures you are going to see in the next couples posts, my dream of the Greek Islands is truly a reality.

Most days we remained poolside, soaking in the sunshine we don't see in London and catching up with family we don't see often now that we are no longer living blocks away {insert crying emoji}.

We even enjoyed lazy lunches by the pool {like this Greek salad....!}.

However, we made it our goal to at least go on one big excursion to really experience the small island {it's so small, it only has roughly 38 cabs!}. So we chose a sunset catamaran tour to enjoy the water and chase the infamous Santorini sunset. 

The semi-private catamaran tour was 5-6 hours, starting mid-afternoon. There were about 6-7 other couples from all over the world. Besides stopping to swim near the Red Beach, take pictures of the White Beach, and swim in the hot springs, the crew also cooked us a delicious dinner, performed some songs for us, and informed us of the history of the island.

You can't see the name of the catamaran, but it was appropriately named "Freedom" ;).

The Red Beach, which reminded me of the Sedona Red Rocks in Arizona.

Christina, Kevin, and Ross swimming in the Aegean Sea. I was too much of a chicken to swim with the monstrous, little fishies. However, I did swim in the hot springs {right or wrong, I figured fish couldn't survive in that water}.

Hot springs, where the water wasn't as warm as I had anticipated, but it was still a cool experience!

The best part of the water excursion was definitely the sunset, which as you can see below, made for some stunningly beautiful pictures.

We heard from several people the sunset is beautiful to see anywhere on the island, and we were lucky enough to watch it a couple times from a couple different locations. Next up on tomorrow's post: chasing the sunset in Oia {pronounced: ee-ya}. ​
