Barrel Houses, Kamari

> Located between the streets of Odos Myrtidiotissas and Odos Apollonos are over 100 small houses with distinct barrel-shaped roofs. Their shape was born out of the need to build quicky with limited materials in the aftermath of the 1956 earthquake, to provide shelter for those whose homes had been destroyed.

Walked a mile and a half along the beach from Kamari to the Gaia Winery 🍷

Dry white wines: Santorini Thalassitis and Gaia S W (Assyrtiko/Sauvignon Blanc)

The Thalassitis was superb! We’re returning on Tuesday for a full wine tasting session.

Espresso martini time 🍸

I don’t usually enjoy espresso martinis. They’re often too sweet. I love the cans of MOTH margarita. So I thought I’d try their take. It’s pretty good.

A can of MOTH Espresso Martini and a glass of the drink sit on a wooden surface. Next to them is a magazine titled County Cricket Matters with an image of a cricket field on the cover. Various kitchen items are visible in the background
