Photos do not do Santorini justice.
Dinner tonight at Dimitri's at Ammoudi Bay (not to be confused with Armeni Bay- pffut no one goes there!). 250 steps down 250 steps back up. These are Greek steps. 250mm - 300mm high separated by a 1 metre wide tread that slopes and adds at least another 100mm height each step. So I figure it is the equivalent of about 800 steps all the while avoiding the donkey droppings. Where was the donkey was my question?.
One other hardy couple took the stairs back up with us (everyone else sensibly waited in queue for taxis) but they paused for a good long break half way up.
