Lunch at Skaros

After quite a long walk from Thira we arrived at Skaros restaurant to get a well earned beer and something to eat. In the background you can see the small island Nea Kameni.

wpe22.jpg (29093 bytes) Oia is incredible beautiful with a lot of narrow streets and a famous sunset (which we didn't get to see). The city is very focused on the tourists with jewelry shops and galleries everywhere. In Oia everything is a little bit more expensive than you are used to in Greece.
