What a lonesome sight! We were here to catch the Olympic Airlines flight from Santorini back to Athens... and as we accurately predicted, the damn flight was delayed again! 100% delay record for the worst airline in the world.

Santorini has two ports. Athinios port that is for ferry and commercial boats and the Old port that is only for cruise ship travelers. Athinios port is located in the area of Pyrgos where there is a car access and the Old port in Fira where the only way up and down to the town is the donkeys, the cable car or to walk although we don't recommend walking.
