Santorini has a winemaking history. Maybe seek out Sigalas or Argyroa 'Mavrotragano' red? Dionysus would approve. So would Bacchus. And Liber too.

On that eventual flight to the isle, we chatted with a Seattle nurse. She'd once worked with Rick Steves' ex-wife, also a nurse, in Sweden.

*click on images for better view We got lucky. Our flight from Athens to Santorini was overbooked and volunteers to change were requested. Before the Aegean Air rep had finished her sentence over the departure gate PA, I had sprinted to her desk. For our flexibility, we were given 500 Euros cash, meal certificates, plus future free flights. Our re-booking was less than 3 hours later.

The museum had those Mycenean funeral masks (e.g. Alexander the Great's father, Philip of Macedon), but it also had this more comical one! *In addition, the museum had that strange bronze discovery mentioned by von Daniken in his Chariots of the Gods', a sort of mechanical 'computer' item that has puzzled many with its sophistication.
