A few more shots around Santorini






Here are a few more photos from Santorini. The panorama above was taken atop Profiti Ilia, the highest point in Santorini, looking north. You can see Oia at the tip of the island, sort of hooking left. The airport is located on the eastern side of the island where it is more flat.

UL: This was taken on the volcano as we hiked to the summit. The landscape was pretty bare and boring.

UR: Black beach, color of the sand is determined by which layer of lava is exposed.

LL: Red Beach. There was also a White Beach, but you can only access it by boat.

LR: Some more blue structures in Santorini.

Fira, Santorini, Greece




These are some photos of a recent trip I took to Greece with my family. We stayed in the town of Fira, the capital of Santorini. Santorini is known for it's white-washed buildings and blue-domed churches. Most of the towns on Santorini are built on the edge of the volcanic caldera and provides for great views of the Aegean Sea and volcano in the center. The night view of Fira also shows the highest point on Santorini, Profiti Ilia. More to come in the next post (Oia, Santorini).
