The first thing that hit me on arrival in Santorini is the dazzling white of the buildings shining under the brilliant blue sky. No wonder the Greek flag is blue and white.
Here are a few examples.
I will never look at white again without thinking of Santorini.
There will be more posts about our impressions of Fira and Oia on Santorini.
as I expected from you, spectacular shots, looks like good weather for you

The weather has been great. We are on our way to Syros and it is overcast today. I am hoping for blue sky later.

Unfortunately mine fell in the water when we were on a boat the other day.

I adored Santorini, I remember a hair raising donkey ride up the zig-zag track from the harbour to the town. I was a lot younger then.

We walked down to the port and took the cable car back. I have seen how donkeys behave.

It is going to take some time to organise all the photos. The posts will appear over time.

It’s just stunning – the colours, despite being predominantly white, are intersected by the architectural lines and shadows which make it just – stunning!

Santorini is stunning.

Somehow the white just seems right for the contrasts on the island. It is one of the favourite memories from our Mediterranean cruise.

Santorini has a special light, possibly created by that blue and white contrast plus the sunshine and you have captured it in your photos, which are great!

Thanks for continuing to share your amazing adventures with us! Are those contraptions attached to the cylindrical shaped building some sort of windmills?

I think they must have been at some point. We have see a few of them around the islands.

So beautiful, I am hoping to visit Santorini this summer!

It is stunning, but as much as I loved it I would not go anywhere near it in summer. Right now in May it is hot and crowded. It must be a nightmare in summer. The tiny streets are crammed with people, the roads are narrow and packed with cars. I would definitely go early or late in the season. Every day huge cruise ships send thousands of people to the tiny towns…beware.
