Ahhhh...Beautiful Santorini!

Picturesque blue-domed church
The little white villages of Santorini clinging to the side of several thousand feet drop off.
The town of Oia with the Greek flag

Talk about an infinity edge pool


This had to be the highlight of the trip. Santorini used to be a normal round island but around 3000 years ago the volcano below the island blew up leaving behind the crescent shaped island we know today. To get to the top you either have to take a cable car or donkey. We opted for the cable car. We spent most of the day walking the trail around the rim of the crater taking in all the different views. We also took a short bus ride to the town of Oia and hung out in cafe for long lunch soaking up the island as best we could. I really wanted to stay overnight on the island and see the sunset...oh well gives me a reason to come back someday!
