Santorini...

What can be said of Santorini? Santorini is the typical image you see of Greece and the Mediterranean. Brilliant white houses, with bright blue roofs, perched on, and in, cliffs overlooking the ocean. Donkey rides up from the port. That's Santorini.

Pictures don't do it justice. We saw perhaps the most stunning sunset ever, sitting in a bar up the top of the cliffs. We walked up an active volcano, and listened as the guide told us the entire area was once a big volcano.

We looked at the houses built into the cliffs. We walked around the cobbled little paths, and down the steps to the tender back to the ferry.

Oh, and we jumped off the side of a boat, into the cold water, to swim over to the warm springs. Jumping off a boat, into the ocean is something we've both wanted to do, so we were really glad to get a chance to do this.

Here's some more photos for viewing pleasure !
