The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Fira. A baroque structure of blue-gray and cream was built in 1823. It was completely restored
and rebuilt in 1970, after an earthquake in 1956
On the way back from Fira we stop to explore Emporio - Santorini's largest village.
Here we find a bakery that we return
to a number of times
Back in our room, we enjoy our purchase from the bakery in Emporio

The next day (Wednesday) we explore the hillside village of Pyrgos - its steep, medieval alleys are home to tavernas, galleries,
and tourist shops. After a steep climb up the alleys we are rewarded with extensive views from the ruins of a castle
