Another shot from the beautiful greek island of santorini - The white stuff on the crater edge are small villages.
A view of the volcanic island as we travelled across the top of it. Santorini has no rivers, and water is scarce. Due to its unique ecology and climate, and especially its volcanic ash soil, Santorini is home to unique and prized produce. Santorini tomatoes, Santorini "fava", white eggplants and the katsoúni is a unique local variety of large cucumber which, if left unpicked when green, turn yellow and acquire a sweet taste almost indistinguishable from that of melon. The island remains the home of a small, but flourishing, wine industry, based on the indigenous grape variety, Assyrtiko.
