We toured the entire island, participated in a wine tasting, ate a wonderful lunch in a tavern with a spectacular view of the caldera, visited a small Byzantine chapel, walked on one of the black beaches, and had time to stroll the streets in Oia and Fira. I took 200 photos. Here is a sample:

We took a cable car down to the port the steep cliffs of the caldron in Fira to take a tender back to our ship which is anchored in front of a island left by volcano.
Hi Gail,
ReplyDeleteI have rented a place in Santorini from Sept. 5-Oct. 31! Am so excited I can hardly stand myself!! Your beautiful photos and narrative was like fuel to my flame!
I've been tracking your trip and enjoying the places you've visited. We have much to talk about when you return. Looking forward to seeing you and hearing first hand all the things you saw and did.
Have fun!!
Judy
