Santorini Pictures and Review
Santorini is a surreally beautiful place – It’s one of those places that makes you reflect when you look back on your pictures; “Was it really like that? Was I really there?” – Well, I was lucky to be there and thankful to have the pictures to prove it.

We spent 3 days in Santorini in an excellent hotel picked out by Dennis & Lil (it was a cave room dug into a cliff, with the main walkway behind us), and were there long enough to go swimming 3 times. The beaches across the island were very diverse (red sand, rocky beaches, black beaches), but consistently “hard” to get to. To get to beaches you had to work, unless you preferred a donkey ride – Each beach we visited included a walk down, and the up the cliffs for vertical distance of about 200-400m (fortunately we replenished all the energy lost during the hikes at dinner afterwards). Looking up at the cliff hugging buildings while swimming a half a kilometre below was an unforgettable experience.
There are two kinds of people in Greece – those that love you, and those that couldn’t give a shit. Sometimes you’ll find a person with both of those qualities! You’ll be able to tell right away which group the people you encounter belong too – People aren’t afraid to show you how they feel.
If you are in the mood for a chick flick, and also want to see more of Santorini, rent the movie “Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.” – It was playing during a late-night flight I was on recently (no, I didn’t go to the theatre/rent it myself), and I enjoyed the film – You’ll even see the donkeys on the steps.
