Day 12: Santorini, Greece

When you first pull into Santorini it grabs your attention and it doesn’t let go.  It is very dynamic landscape.  It is a volcano created island with homes on the edge of sheer cliffs.  The precariousness of the place is what gives it the charm.  All of the homes are white with blue shutters and some blue roofs. 

We went from one end of the island to the other.  We wanted to swim in the Mediterranean Sea so we rode one of the island buses to one of the beaches that had volcanic ash sand (black).  Great lunch and afternoon spent on the beach.  Santorini is stunning and should not be missed if you happen to be anywhere near this area.

Mediterranean is colder than you might think.
