Again, the departure time was pretty much given due to the short daily opening time of the airport.
The flight itself was very short at approx 35min. Since the fuel uplift from Megara has to get us through Milos and Santorini to Rhodos (only there is Avgas available again), a more economic cruise setting was used. Also, because of traffic at Santorini, there was no way to climb above 2000ft. We had to vente tente gonflable do an orbit once west of the field due to traffic, but didn’t really mind as it was the perfect spot to get a first impression of Santorini from the air ;-)
Then we checked in at the hotel “Irida” in Imerovigli, which is a true gem. Could not have chosen better :-)
