点评:Nestled on the shore at the base of irrepressible Oia atop a plateau this quaint former fishing village was our disembarking by ferry from the cruise ship Celestyal Discovery. Approaching Amoudi Bay by ferry, I saw the famed 300 steps that ascend the cliffs. Fortunately, our tour group of 40 boarded buses to save precious time—and ease aching older joints. Amoudi Bay sits at the edge of Santorini’s famed collapsed volcano caldera. Amoudi Bay is about 125 miles southeast of Athens. Santorini’s capital is Fira, or Thera. I learned all this from research after returning to Orlando. Having no idea of the significance of this village, I was awed by the almost-vertical cliffs rising to a whitewashed city above. From the ferry, I saw the famous steps that zigzagged up the cliffs. I could enjoy a week on Santorini and not visit all this incredible island has to offer. It puts Caribbean islands ashamed.
翻译:阿穆迪湾坐落在圣托里尼岛著名的火山口边缘,位于一座高原之上,依偎在活力四射的伊亚小镇脚下。我们乘坐“天体探索号”游轮,乘渡轮抵达这里。渡轮驶近阿穆迪湾时,我看到了那著名的300级台阶,它们蜿蜒而上,直达悬崖。幸运的是,我们40人的旅行团都乘坐巴士,这样既节省了宝贵的时间,也缓解了老年人关节的酸痛。阿穆迪湾位于圣托里尼岛著名的火山口边缘,距离雅典东南约125英里。圣托里尼岛的首府是费拉(Fira),也叫锡拉(Thera)。这些信息都是我回到奥兰多后查阅资料才了解到的。之前我对这个小镇的历史一无所知,所以当看到几乎垂直的悬崖直插山顶,俯瞰着上方粉刷成白色的城镇时,我感到无比震撼。从渡轮上,我看到了那著名的台阶,它们蜿蜒曲折地向上延伸。即使我在圣托里尼岛待上一周,也无法游览这座令人惊叹的岛屿的所有景点。这让加勒比海岛屿蒙羞。
