00:00Casual.

00:16So today we are headed from Fira to Ia, which is on the northern tip of the islands.

00:22It's about a six-mile trail and you get beautiful views of the caldera the whole way.

00:26Looking forward to it. Let's go.

00:30We just started the walk to Ia. So far so good.

00:46First uphill section complete.

00:48There is literally an industry in Greece where they just rent out these flowy dresses.

01:02And this one man comes and fans out the flowy dress while the other man takes photos.

01:08You want to hold my flow dress?

01:09Yeah, I guess I can hold your flowy dress.

01:12We are about to hike out to right there.

01:14We made it to our first split in the trailhead.

01:18And we are going to take the extra walk to Scarborough's Rock.

01:23All right Garrett lead the way.

01:25I don't know what's going on.

01:33These signs are everywhere asking people not to stand on the roofs, and I just want to

01:51know what people think they're doing in this country that they have to put all these signs

01:54up.

01:55If you're wondering what that sound was, it's just Garrett running down the steps.

01:59I want to run the whole five miles up and down the steps.

02:05Have at it.

02:06Getting major Mamma Mia wedding scene vibes from these steps.

02:11Lauren, how many times did you watch Mamma Mia on the way here?

02:15Just one, but I've been watching Mamma Mia and preparing for this my entire life.

02:20I'm going to have to switch my leading leg because I have to take these steps two steps

02:25at a time, and I'm taking everyone with my right leg, and I feel like I'm going to wake

02:29up with one sore leg tomorrow.

02:32This is insanely beautiful.

02:34We came from all the way over there, and we took a quick detour down the hill.

02:43Now we're headed up to Scar's Rock, there's Lauren, and then we're going to go all the

02:49way over to the northern tip of the island, there, which is here.

02:55Lauren's about to go in a random hole, cave.

02:57Well, good luck.

02:59What is this?

03:00Is it just me?

03:01Does that look like it's like a brick wearing?

03:02It's like the Virgin Mary taking care of a baby Jesus?

03:03And there's this entryway.

03:04It keeps going.

03:05And I don't know what I found.

03:06Oh, there's just a big hole, and it kind of smells.

03:07Guys, I think I just saw the toilet.

03:08Nice view for a toilet.

03:09And Lauren's somewhere down there.

03:10There she is.

03:11Right there.

03:12She's hiking down to the church.

03:14We found a cool little church.

03:16Got a bunch of photos of the church.

03:18I think Lauren's back there taking some more photos of the church.

03:22And Lauren's back there taking some more photos of the church.

03:26And then we're headed back to the trail and make it to Ia.

03:41It's about 10 a.m. and we still have at least two and a half hours to go of hiking.

03:47But that's if we don't stop, so let's go.

03:50I'm having significantly less laughs on the way back up.

04:04The sun is out.

04:05It's not hot, hot here, right?

04:08Like, it's in the 80s, but that sun is insanely intense.

04:13So, here we are.

04:17This is how we know we're back on the trail.

04:19Headed the right direction.

04:21We are still headed that way in search of Ia.

04:25Lauren's on a mission now.

04:26It's starting to get hot.

04:29We just left the last city, we think.

04:31It's called Amigrovili.

04:33Is that how you say it?

04:34Amigrovili.

04:35Amigrovili.

04:36I don't think I pronounced it right.

04:38But anyways, now it's just going to be kind of like trail and scenery, I think, until we get all the way to Ia.

04:49There's all these churches at the top off these trails if you just start walking up steps.

05:10You make a turn, and there's usually a cool church.

05:15White church on the cliff.

05:17All the buildings at Santa Rita, as you can see kind of to my right behind me here, are white because the white helps reflect the sun and keep the buildings cool.

05:26Also, you'll see most of the buildings are built into the cliff, so they're a little more protected from the sun.

05:31Really cool architecture.

05:32We made it to the one part of trail where you walk along the busy road.

05:36Alright guys, it's pretty hot out here.

05:39There's no shade.

05:40We haven't seen a whole lot of places pick up water, so if you're coming, I'd highly recommend packing a lot of these water bottles in your husband's backpack.

05:48Water break.

05:49I think this is kind of the part where she's ready just to get to Ia.

05:53She's ready to be there.

05:54We'll be there soon.

05:55Don't worry.

05:56That's where we're headed.

05:59All downhill from here.

06:02That felt a bit too bad, but I'm looking forward to some apples.

06:07There's another white chapel right there.

06:10I think I'm starting to get a little white chappeled out.

06:12We are so close to Ia.

06:14I think we're officially entering the city, so I don't know how far exactly we're going to go, but right now we're just stopping in awe and looking at those boats.

06:29Now we're going to go get some lunch and call it a day and we're going to go get it right there so we can enjoy the view.

06:44What are you getting?

06:46A Greek salad.

06:47A big hunk of feta.

06:48Some capers.

06:49Red onion.

06:50Cucumber.

06:51And some beefy tomatoes.

06:53The only thing that looks better than this Greek salad.

07:00Is me.

07:01Well, is the view we have while we're eating it.

07:06I didn't realize how much I needed this tzatziki sauce after that hike, but that Greek yogurt with the dill and the cucumber is very refreshing.

07:29To cap off this post hike lunch, we have baklava.

07:36You can see all of the layers in it and it's so flaky on top.

07:48Casual.

07:49We're in Ia.

07:50We just ate lunch and now we're heading to the bus stop and get back to Fira, which is where our hotel is.

07:56Fira Stefani.

07:57Fira Stefani.

07:58I think we're going to get off in a mere of Govigli instead of Fira because that means the hotel walk is downhill and through less crowded areas.

08:06So I think that was the main plan, but I'm pretty sure how to find the bus station.

08:10Here's our final stats.

08:12We're walking for four hours, 26 minutes, 7.83 miles, and an elevation gain of 1,449 feet.

08:22Before anyone comments on my high heart rate, I've had a lot of coffee, okay?

08:25I'm tired.

08:26Garrett was making fun of my heart rate and I told him to put his money where his mouth is, but his average heart rate was 75 beats per minute.

08:32So, that's what you get for marrying a runner.

08:36I'm riding the bus.

08:37Sweaty.

08:38The grand plan failed.

08:39We did not get dropped off.

08:43In America, we got dropped off of Fira, which means we have an uphill walk to get home.

09:03Here we go.

09:04Just a short walk back to our hotel.

09:06Ten minutes.

09:07Not so bad.

09:08And I've managed to find shade, which makes it better.

09:10All right, we got all cleaned up after our hike.

09:23After our hike, we're back at the hotel room.

09:26Just enjoying a nice cocktail.

09:28Not really a cocktail.

09:29I guess I'm drinking a beer and Lauren's drinking some wine.

09:32Before we go to Vinistano's Winery, I think that's how you pronounce it.

09:36But we're going to go do a wine tasting and then we're going to go to dinner after that.

09:40So, here Lauren is enjoying her wine.

09:43With a good view.

09:45Cheers.

09:46Cheers.

09:53About to do a wine tasting.

09:56First course.

09:59Rosé.

10:00Some kind of white wine.

10:02I think the white is my favorite.

10:04It's very, um, crisp.

10:06It's not sweet.

10:15What do we got?

10:16A dessert wine.

10:17Well, this is the red.

10:18And we're supposed to eat that with the pita with the pork, cheese, tomatoes, and arugula.

10:23And then this is our dessert wine, which we're supposed to eat with the apricot strong cheese.

10:29That's all I got.

10:30And dried fig.

10:31Cheers.

10:32Garrett over here is a big fan of this really strong cheese.

10:36When I said it was a strong cheese earlier.

10:38Guys, I took like the tiniest bite I possibly could in it.

10:41It hit me.

10:42So, give it a nice...

10:43Nice little taste.

10:44Give it a nice little taste.

10:45Oh, that's a big taste.

10:47Backwards.

10:48Oh no.

10:49It's already too late.

10:50Woo!

10:51Zero and I'm ten.

10:52It's cheese.

10:53Everything else is fantastic with that cheese.

10:54It's a lot.

10:55It's a lot.

10:56It's a lot.

10:57It's like wasabi and been sitting out like 50 days in a row simultaneously.

10:59Check out these stairs that I just had to walk up.

11:00It's kind of dangerous after drinking a lot of wine.

11:01Look at them steep stairs.

11:02Goes all the way around.

11:03We sat there.

11:04It was really good.

11:05This is a bird's eye view.

11:06But look at the view we had.

11:07Look how amazing that view is.

11:08It's like a photo every single day here.

11:10It's pretty incredible.

11:11We're headed to dinner and a taxi.

11:12Look how big this thing is.

11:13Lauren's over here.

11:14They sent us a minibus.

11:15Oh no.

11:16It's kind of dangerous after drinking a lot of wine.

11:17It's kind of dangerous after drinking a lot of wine.

11:18Look at them steep stairs.

11:19It goes all the way around.

11:20We sat there.

11:21It was really good.

11:22This is a bird's eye view.

11:23But look at the view we had.

11:24Look how amazing that view is.

11:25It's like a photo every single day here.

11:27It's pretty incredible.

11:30We're headed to dinner and a taxi.

11:35Look how big this thing is.

11:37Lauren's over here.

11:38They sent us a minibus.

11:39We got the whole thing to ourselves.

11:42Watch out.

11:44This is where we're going to dinner.

11:47Metaxu Mass?

11:49I'm trying.

11:50According to multiple sources.

11:52The best restaurant.

11:54Big food critics.

11:55Not really.

11:56We'll eat just about anything.

11:58Alright we got this welcome drink.

12:02Is it a shot?

12:03Is it a juice?

12:04I've seen people sipping on this.

12:05Is it water?

12:06People are sipping on it.

12:07We don't really know.

12:08Garrett.

12:09This one's kind of like tequila.

12:11Give it a go.

12:12Salute.

12:13Look at how much they gave us.

12:14There's a cat just chilling on the ledge.

12:15I have been so excited to try this.

12:18It is a feta cheese wrapped in filo dough, flash fried with honey and sesame seeds.

12:25And I can already tell it's gonna have that filo dough crunch.

12:31It's very good.

12:32It's like a dessert.

12:33I know this is like very taxid of me but it's kind of like a sopapilla with the honey but

12:38a thinner sopapilla with feta and sesame.

12:40This was this evening's wine.

12:41This was this evening's wine.

12:42This was this evening's wine.

12:43This was this evening's wine.

12:44This was this evening's wine.

12:48This was this evening's wine.

12:49This was this evening's wine.

12:50This is like a sopapilla with the honey and a thinner sopapilla with feta and sesame.

12:57This was this evening's wine.
