On the way into the port of Santorini. There is a constant flor of cruise ships. You can see Fira, the main town of the island in the background and the goat track zig-zaging its way up the hill. The ferries go into the actual port, so we didnt get to ride the donkeys up.
The rooftop of one of the luxury hotels in Fira. Our place was nice, but not quite this nice.
Caldera views.
More caldera views, with plenty of boats coming and going.
One of the few churches without a blue roof.
Typical Santorini church.

One of the days there we hired a scooter and cruised around the entire island. This is for some reason called the Red Beach, no, the red cliffs surrounding the beach really are amazing. They just seem to come out of nowhere. It is a bit of a hike to get down there, it is quite crowded and costs 6euro for a sun bed and 6 euro for an umbrella.
Greek Sundried tomatoes.
The scooter.
Us looking like we have just stepped off the set of Hogans Heroes.
Sunset from Oia, the second largest town on the western tip of the island.
Perissa Beach, where we stayed. Black volcanic sands, with a texture similar to those of riverbed sands in Alice Springs, (not that I have spent a lot of time in them). You can see where the smooth lava meets the sand.
