We agreed to give our legs a rest today and hired a quad bike to explore the island. Our first stop was Kamari beach although upon arrival we discovered that a black pebble beach wasn't exactly the best place to be on a hot day and our feet paid the consequence so we had a quick swim in the water and then back on the quad to drive up a nearby mountain that had spectacular views of the island. We continued to scoot our way around before making our way along the steep winding road to Oia to catch the sunset. The tip of Oia is said to be one of the best places in the world to watch the sun set and how true that was. As the sun sank into the distant ocean it cast its magnificent rays and colours over the white houses nestled into the cliffs. It was one of those moments when you realize just how truly beautiful the world is and how lucky we are to be able to explore it and see amazing things such as this.
Safety first on the quad

(We stayed at Hotel Thira (booked through booking.com) and hired our quad from Tony's located underneath the hotel. Can't recommend this hotel enough. It is my second time staying in this family run hotel and both times we have been looked after beyond words)
