To celebrate the fifth anniversary of our wedding, we had an eight-day holiday in Greece. We were in Athens from Day 1 to Day 3, in Santorini from Day 4 to Day 7. In the previous posts (Part I, Part II), some pictures taken in Athens and Sontorini were displayed. In this post, you can see some more impressive pictures, including the best spot of this trip: the landmark.

结婚五周年，我们的庆祝活动是希腊度假八日游。在前两篇帖子里 (1, 2), 讲述的是我们在雅典观光和乘船赴圣托里尼岛的故事。本篇是希腊假日游记的完结篇，我们将展示此次旅行的高潮部分：寻找明信片上的地标。

Day 6: Black beach 第六天：黑沙滩；奥伊亚

Black beaches are rarely seen, compared with white beaches. Perissa, a beach at the east corner of Santorini, is well-known as a black beach. See the chairs in the following figure. They were paid for according to the number of people, with no time limit!

黑沙滩比白沙滩少见，位于圣岛东边的 Perissa 就以黑沙滩闻名。沙滩上的躺椅是按人数收费的，不限时。

Black beach. 黑沙滩

End of June is not the best season for sea swimming. It was very cold after we played in the water for a while.

只是6月下旬还未到游泳的最佳季节，我们玩了一会儿海水就觉得冷。

Tides. 浪来了

Thus we just lied in the sunshine to keep warm. It was so pleasant to hear the tides and see the waves.

干脆晒起了太阳。涛声阵阵，浪花朵朵，惬意极了。

Black beach at Perissa. 黑沙滩

Afterwards, we went to Oia by motercycle. Oia was said to be the most beautiful sight on Santorini, and we the best came the last.

然后，我们开着摩托去奥依亚。这是传说中岛上最美的地方，所以我们把她作为此行的最后一站。

Motorcyle at Sontorini. 我们主要的交通工具

We had to go across the entire island from the east coast to the west one. A long way became a piece of cake because of our motorcycle. On the way we passed by other beaches, saw a tiny airport, and occasionally visited the most famous wine museum. Wines produced locally were available at a very good price.

从最东边的黑沙滩开摩托去最西边的奥依亚，要穿过整个岛。这就体现了自驾游的好处，我们沿途看了别的沙滩，经过了机场，还顺路去了当地最有名的葡萄酒博物馆。这里可以买到纯正的当地产葡萄酒，只需几欧一瓶。

Wine museum. 葡萄酒博物馆

当途径前文所说岛上最狭窄的地方的时候，公路左右两边都是悬崖，两边的大海触手可及，摩托车后面带着老婆，我终于明白为什么小青年们喜欢摩托，那一刻，男人更像男人，女人更像女人。

A pause at an unknown place. 未知旅途的小憩

Here we were, Oia. The sunset at Oia was amazing, with windmills and little round-roofed churches, and, of course, a lot of tourists, who had to get there one hour before sunset so as to find a good spot for sight seeing. This was the fourth sunset on this trip.

顺利抵达奥依亚。这里的夕阳美，美在夕阳方向有风车和圆顶的教堂。当然，游客也很多，必须提前一小时找位置。不过，最近几天天天看夕阳，天天都好看，都有些审美疲劳了。这是此行看到的第四次落日。

Sunset at Oia. 奥依亚的落日

Day 7: Landmark. 第七天：地标蓝顶教堂

On the fourth day on the island, we saw something that we had not seen for years: sunrise over the sea.

在岛上的第四天，看到了多年不见的风景：海上日出。

Sunrise. 海上日出

Both sunrise and sunset last only seconds. However, sunrise is different. You see the sun and know where it will kiss the horizon at sunset, but you never know where the sun will pop up at sunrise. We do not often see sunrise in our lives, do we? We are always busy in working or sleeping at sunrise. Early to bed, early to rise makes you heathy, wealthy and wise. From now on, let's meet the morning sun every day, shall we?

日出和日落的相同点在于，都非常快，就那么几十秒中。区别在于，日出的时候会猜测，太阳到底从海天交际的哪一点上升起。开始的时候不太明显，逐渐发现某处似乎更亮一点，更亮一点，突然，一个亮点就出现了。 我们这一辈子，真正看到日出的时候，恐怕不多吧。不是在忙着工作，就是在忙着睡觉。 记得有条谚语说，早睡早起让你健康、富有和睿智（Early to bed, early to rise makes you heathy, wealthy and wise）。从今天起，养成早睡早起的习惯吧。

Actually it was hard to find a right place to see the sunrise. People like night life, and most of the sight seeing spots were designed for sunset rather than sunrise. We were luck that there was a platform in front of our hotel, a perfect spot for seeing sunrise. After that, we went back to bed and go on sleeping.

在圣岛上能找到一个适合看日出的地方并不容易，因为大家更喜欢晚睡晚起，夜生活丰富，因此旅游景点的设计多是为了迎合日落的。然而我终于找到了这么个地方看海上日出，这就是前文所说的我们宾馆的最大亮点：宾馆出来门口的平台上，是看日出的绝佳位置。朝向刚好，视野开阔，距离这么近，对于既想看日出又想多睡会儿的人来说，是多么合适啊。看完之后回去接着睡。

When we woke up again, we set off to Oia for the second time. Why? Because there was still one wish which had not been checked in the list yet.

At the very beginning of this trip, we saw a beautiful blue-roofed church on many postcards. It was the landmark of Santorini. We had seen lots of blue-roofed churches except this ONE. Where was it?

We drove our motorcycle once again. We found a little church with blossoms in the yard. It was not the ONE, though.

睡醒之后，我们再次去奥伊亚。之所以去第二次，是因为我们有一个愿望还没有实现。

从来到岛上第一天起，我们就在小店的明信片上看到一处风景，那是海边的两个蓝顶教堂，和一个蓝顶小钟楼。这处风景无疑是岛上的明星景点，印在很多明信片上。这几天来，我们看到岛上的蓝顶教堂很多，唯独没有看到明信片上这一处。

我们一定要找到她。

于是，摩托车又出发，又路过狭窄的悬崖公路，又拉风了一把。

沿途经过一个小教堂，外面鲜花盛开。

An unknown church. 未知小教堂

The day before we only saw the evening at Oia. This time we saw her in the sunshine. Greek white and Greek blue.

前一天抵达奥伊亚的时候天色有些晚了，这一次光线充足，白色更敞亮，蓝色更迷人。

Street view at Oia. 奥伊亚的街道

Through the narrow streets we found another little church. Not the ONE, again.

But it was cute. As it was not allowed to take pictures in it. Thus we took one outside. I wished we could have had another wedding here.

在这样狭窄的街道里穿行，我们偶尔路过一个很漂亮的教堂。教堂内不许拍照，就在外面合影。

Another unknown church. 又一个不知名教堂.

Half a day had passed and we still had not found the ONE. A lunch at a nice restaurant at the sea shore was a good choice for us.

中午，在一家很不错的餐厅吃饭，是海景房耶！

Lunch. 午餐

Time flew. We asked many people where the ONE was, but no one could answer.

时间过得飞快，我们唯恐离开前找不到那座教堂，可惜问了很多人都没有得到答案。

Suddenly and occasionally, we entered an ordinary small street, and we were amazed. Yes, it was. The ONE was just here.

在及不起眼的一个小胡同里，我们极其偶然的拐了进去，眼前让我们一愣，进而大喜，发现这正是我们梦中的风景！她就在这里！

Landmark building at Sontorini. 明星蓝顶教堂

Our wish list was finally completed.

山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。

Day 8. Goodbye. 第八天：难说再见

We flied from Santorini to Athens in the evening, to Munich on the following day, and arrived home on the eighth day. Goodbye Santorini. Goodbye Greece. It was an unforgettable trip. I will definitely come again some day, maybe on another wedding anniversary with our kids.

晚上，我们在圣岛乘上飞机飞往雅典，7小时的海路在空中只需要1小时。抵达雅典后又飞往慕尼黑。在旅行的第八天，我们回到了家。过去的几天就像梦幻一样，希腊之美令人不可思议。我想，有朝一日，我们还会来的，也许是另一个结婚纪念日，不同的是，我们会带上孩子，给他们讲上次发生的故事。
