Sunny Santorini

Santorini was awesome. It was completely different from Spetses. Santorini is the remains of a vast volcano. There are stories that Santorini is where Atlantis was located before the volcano erupted and sunk itself and the city. There are remains in the town of Akrotiri that are thousands of years old and indicate that the residents had running water and multi-storied houses. Whether this is the site of Atlantis or not there was still much to admire. Santorini is part of the rim of the volcano - the caldera. Many buildings have built on the near vertical slopes. The next quake or volcanic activity will be interesting!

Highlights were:
- great food again. The Greeks know how to eat! Including the best bruchetta (sp?) anywhere with eggplant of all things on it.
- a visit to the famous Red Beach with rusty red sand
- an evening trip to Ia to see the sunset. Spectacular.
- a boat trip that included walking to the summit of the volcano, a swim in waters heated by thermal activity and a meal on the island on the opposite side of the volcano to Santorini.

Another great place to go. Two days wasn't enough as we didn't get to the Black or White Beaches.
