圣岛冒险记 – 前往Fira 和Firostefani *Exploring Santorini – Visiting Fira and Firostefani (5 June 09)

早上一醒起来就拍的照片。早上的太阳拍照特别漂亮。



向Fira前往的时候,半路上我们被一个”The Best Sunset View”的路牌吸引停了下来。这里的风景真的很漂亮。有点像美国大山谷。
This is one of the excellent places to see sunset in Akrotiri. The hill side looks like Grand Canyon in United States of America.
















这里有一间餐厅。日落的时候可以在这里用餐,一边享受美味的希腊餐,一边享受美丽的大自然。
There is also a restaurant nearby. Some tourists spend their evening here waiting for sunset while having the dinner.



餐馆老板还在这里建了一个看日落的平台。
A platform was built purposely for viewing sunset.







摄影反映的是个人对身边事情的观点。虽然在同的一个地方拍照,但照片出来的效果会不一样。这是我眼睛所看到的。。。。
Photography is all about individual perspectives. This is what I saw from my camera….


。。。这是小华看到的。。。
….and this is what hubby saw from his perspective….. photos were taken at the same spot with different style of photography.



那么美丽的地方, 我想日落的日后会更美丽!
Such a beautiful scenery! I am sure this place has the most beautiful sunset!










到了Fira 后我们到处逛逛买东西。

经过朋友的解释,我才懂得原来这是属于土耳其的。和土耳其人一样,圣岛的人民相信这个‘眼睛’可以帮忙辟邪。
I didn’t know this belongs to Turkish and it is called ‘Turkish Eyes’ until a few friends told me so. Like Turkish, Greeks also believe this symbol could chase the evil spirit away.



走进Fira小巷里。这里是美食天堂,也是shopping的最好去处。
Small alley in Fira. This place is full with shop houses and restaurants. Excellent place for shopping and also to look for Greek food.









没用地图走,走到有点懵了。。。就沿着大路走吧!这条大路也可以直通Firostefani 及Oia。这一条街也是Fira 租车店口的集中地,只要经过这里,租车老板就会像在巴刹里卖鱼一样喊你。
This is Santorini’s main road, leading from to Oia.









我又一只小毛驴,我从来也不骑。不忍心骑它,因为他比我小很多。。。Fira 有个旧港口,游客可以乘坐缆车上下山到旧港口去,又或者可以选择骑驴子到达目的地。很多人都坐缆车下去然后再骑驴子上来。我们上下都坐缆车,可怜驴子载人那么辛苦。缆车和驴子的价钱只差€1。(驴子=€5; 缆车=€4)
There are two ways to get to Fira old port: either going down by a cable car (€4 one way), or by riding a donkey (€5 one way). We took cable car both ways going up and down the hill.


又见到另一个蓝顶教堂。我们后来住的旅馆就在附近(大概200米的距离而已),但我们并不知道。换旅馆那一天还东奔西跑的在找旅馆!



又见驴子!后来我们沿着这条路一直走上去!哇!那个斜坡真的要我的老命咯!走到上去的时候起都快断了!(因为一口其直接向上冲!)






























Firostefani 镇就在Fira镇的隔壁,走着、走着也不懂什么时候从Fira 走到了Firostefani。
Firostefani and Fira are neighbouring towns.

天气太热了,就在这里乘凉。

岛上到处都有卖这种取至珊瑚的天然的海绵。
These are natural sponges collected from corals.

回去Fira。



在Fira的Obelix 快餐店买了一个鸡肉Pita和一个牛肉Pita。只卖€7.40而已,好吃,只需一个就很饱了!
Bought a chicken Pita and a beef Pita from Obelix – a fast food restaurant in Fira. Both cost €7.40.
