I only spent a few hours on Santorina ( a day trip from Crete), but got so many beautiful images, I've just got to get back. If you ever get the chance... just go!

"Never have I seen a photo of Oia in my life" said no photographer ever...I bet most of us know of those famous views in Oia with its iconic white houses, the blueish rooftops, the picturesque churches and bell towers of that hotspot in the aegean sea. But have you already seen it from above? That's just one way to escape those crowds on the ground, standing in line to get a quick instagram snapshot or fighting their way through the narrow streets to get one of the last sunset spots...
There are many places where you can see a beautiful sunset, but in Santorini, the sun, gives a wonderful spectacle every evening.

The light on the island of Santorini in the Greek Cyclades was awesome at sunrise and sunset. Pictured here is part of the town of Oia as the sun rises over the remnants of an ancient crater rim formed by a mighty volcanic explosion eons ago.
A church in Santorini, they cover the mountain side of the town with the familar blue dome shaped roofs.
One of those photos that you know were already made a million times - but not yet by me!
Santorini, Greece.
The view from Franco's bar. Highly recommend this place if you go to Santorini. So peaceful and beautiful, great music-opera and classical. Perfect for the setting.
This is our fairwell view of Santorini when we left the port in the late afternoon. This Greek island is indeed something especially. I really hope the recent earthquake activities won't trigger any volcanic eruption. Afterall, the island is sitting in the middle of caldera. Most of the towns in the island are high up on the volanic tuff. You can see from this view that the port is really small. There is narrow road that zigzags to the top of the tuff where the settlementts are. The island only has a resident population of about 15000. Yet, 11000 of non-residents have already left. In my opinion, it 's probably good time to go now since most tourists have gone already. I would, if I don't have a family. The earthquakes for the past few days have only caused minor damages to the properties. Having in an earthquake zone, I am used any shake and rattle below me. I have also experienced the big earthquake in the Bay Area 36 years ago. The terrifying scene at the moment when the whole building shook was still imprinted in my brain.
In any case, Santorini is really beautiful. I will definitely go back. In fact, I might just go island hopping in the Mediterranean. These islands have so much history in them.
