When Christos e-mailed me these photos of an old canava in Oia, Santorini that was about to be restored, I couldn’t help smiling.
All those spontaneous decorations, full of colors and messages, they bring an aura of distant days and ways that are over. 8 Track tapes, diaries, and advertising posters that fade from the sun, are the souvenirs of a time that promised fulfillment and joy. Yet, now they lay there like children’s toys, carefree in their innocence and ready to give their place to elegant grey, i pods and less is more decorations.
And I feel completely disoriented about it; I mean, I do love elegant grey, i pods and less is more. But finding the perfect neutral palette for my new floor doesn’t make me smile like these retro pluralistic images do… Maybe because the old canava decorations express something familiar. And it is worth to discover what this familiarity is about, because if we incorporate it to contemporary thinking, we could develop a stronger identity, in a visual, culinary, or personal level.
What do you think about this? How do these pictures make you feel?

The nightwas still some hours away from the harbor of Santorini, Athinios, when wehastily left behind the ship that brought us here from Piraeus, and we began toclimb the winding turns of the road leading to Fira, the capital of the island.
Theatmosphere consisted of darkness, motorcycles, heavy load, minimal lights,tight turns... So what? What mattered was that we were (again) in Santorini. Afew hours later the night gave its place to the day, and the gorgeous islandwelcomed us in the best possible way.
The imageswere magical, the natural beauty was unique, while the houses were completelywhitewashed, with colorful doors and, above all, a view that takes your breathaway!

Once upon atime, Californian wine producer Randall Grahm had described the tasting of aRiesling from Alsace (the Muenchberg of Andre Ostertag) as “a handshake with a mountain”. The white drywine of Santorini enables the curious drinker to go one step further. From theweird yet fabulous combination of lime, salt, sulfur and pumice, one can take ataste of the most intense eruption of the last 10.000 years of the Earth’sgeological history.
Sometimearound 1614 B.C., the underwater volcano of Santorini erupted with greaterpower than the Krakatoa of Japan in 1883, releasing a chain of Mediterraneantsunamis, reformatting the island’s terrain and causing a multi-seasonalvolcanic winter that was felt even in China. If the white wine of Santorini isunlike any other on earth, this is mainly due to this volcano.
