SANTORINI

This was an amazing island which we were able to explore on rented scooters. It is only really built on with white buildings, and here is an example of one of the many Greek Orthodox churches that can be seen. We had quite restful days (especially me as I was a passenger rather than driver of the scooters). One day we some how managed to turn a time passing stroll into a few 4 hour hike up into Ancient Thira - its at the top of the mountain behind this church. It was fun though - I learnt that jandels can indeed make good climbing shoes!




I actually fitted on the back of this bike as well








Here is the Caldera of Santorini - what was left when the island was blown apart by a volcano thousands of years ago.









The port of Oia - we walked around the rocks here to find a secluded swimming spot, past octopus and other sefood being roated on BBQs
