Lukey and Anna's parents go to Greece

CORFU, GREECE
On Corfu, we took a bus to Paleokastritsa beach. One of the loveliest beaches we've ever seen!  We got spinach pies and beer from a store across the street.  It was pretty amazing.  One of the best parts of the week. 

The water was so clear that no matter how deep you were standing in it you could see the bottom and your feet totally clearly.




From the boat.  Robin really liked this island.
The Old Fortress of Corfu


 SANTORINI, GREECE
Santorini is one of the coolest places in the world!  Everyone should see it.  When you walk through the town of Oia, its hard to believe it even exists.  

We hiked from where the boat docked up a trail of donkeys to Fira, then to Oia.  It was a big hike.  About 7 miles probably, including steps and hills and cliffs.  There were some great views though.

When we got to Oia we found a restaurant and had the best beer of our lives (mostly because we were exhausted) and greek salad, saganaki and zucchini balls.  This meal was so perfect that we recreated it after we got home.  The view from the restaurant was great!



To get up from the boat docks, you can either take a cable car, donkey, or walk along with the donkeys.  We walked.  We had to dodge a lot of donkeys and donkey poo. It was a romantic way to spend our anniversary!
MYKONOS, GREECE 
We spent the day in Mykonos walking around town and going to the beach.  The town was pretty cool because it all looked like this.  We also had a chicken gyro that was excellent.  


The beach was lovely.
