3 versions, I guess the one flickr chooses on top will be the main one, I could not decide. Late afternoon, Santorini island, Greece, during a spring rainstorm, looking east towards the (OK, I won't say boring) "less dramatic" side of the island.
Firá (Greek: Φηρά, pronounced [fiˈra], official name Φηρά - Thira) is the modern capital of the Greek Aegean island of Santorini (Thera). A traditional settlement, "Firá" derives its name from an alternative pronunciation of "Thíra", the ancient name of the island itself.
Fira is a city of whitewashed houses built on the edge of the 400 metres (1,312 feet) high caldera on the western edge of the semi-circular island of Thera. The two main museums of interest are the Archaeological Museum of Thera, 30 metres (98 feet) east of the cable car entrance, and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera at the southeast corner of the White Orthodox Cathedral of Ypapanti ([it]), built on the site of an earlier church destroyed in the 1956 Amorgos earthquake. The town also hosts a number of churches, including the Cathedral of Ypapanti and the Three Bells of Fira.

The view over the domes or Oia Santorini as the morning light starts to creep over the hills in the distance illuminating the clouds above.
With picture-perfect sunsets, Santorini is known not just as the most beautiful Greek island but as “the most beautiful place in the world.” It's also considered the most romantic, Instagrammable, Tik Tokable and magical “hidden gem” of Europe.
From the Yorkshire Dales to the Greek Islands! Been digging some Greek stuff out for a travel article. How I'm missing Greece in May...in my opinion the best time to visit.

I've just come back from a trip to the beautiful and dramatic island of Santorini. Most of the photos that I will be posting will be in black & white but I thought I'd start with this lovely colour shot.

I don't usually post photos from my travels - but I'm going to be off for awhile actually travelling for the first time since this pandemic started - - we decided only 3 days ago so this is the quickest we have ever gotten ourselves organized / packed / and researched out destination - - but it is a cruise which makes it much less stress full.
