You are staying at the hotel of your dreams! To complete this assignment,
and submit a bill to your teacher, use the sites below to add to your budget.
The only catch is....you can't just INVENT an amount....you must find evidence
on the web to support the amount of money you're asking for. You are on an
island that is considered by thousands as having the most majestic sunsets
in the world. Nothing can prepare you for the rare sight you will encounter
on Santorini....White villages built on wild grey cliffs and an imposing volcano.
While here you can visit many castles, churches and monasteries....Get out of
that hotel and start being a tourist. Choose three sites to visit and don't
forget that the most wonderful site occurs every evening and is FREE----the SUNSET.
Some Suggestions: Maritime Museum, Megaron Gyzi Museum, The Church of Episkopi,
Profitis Ilias Museum, Historical and Cultural Museum of Santroini in Fira,
Akrotiri Excavations

You are on the island of Santorini, you have a hotel room, and you have walked,
walked, and walked...You should be famished by now and you need to EAT. Even though
you might consider McDonalds fine dining, be adventurous and as a philosopher
said "When in Santorini do as the Santorinians do"---eat some authentic Greek
food. Try some tzatziki, choriatiki. Or how about some octuopus, squid, and
red snapper? No meal is complete without Greek pastries and thick strong coffee.
TAVERNS are usually cheaper than restaurants-they offer simple but tasty dishes.
