There is something special about the Greek Islands. The locals are friendly, the restaurants offering all kinds of local delicacies. Fried tomato and basil balls, so tasty.
A very reliable local bus service transports you around the island to the other villages. We caught the bus to Oia, another amazing photoshot waiting to happen. Shops line the streets, cafes look out over a water view that you just can’t get enough of.
You could literally sit for hours looking at the view it is so beautiful. I could not believe my eyes the first time we looked out over the Caldera when we were taken to our apartment.
There is a very relaxed style of living on these islands, one that is quite easy to get used to. Something that makes you want to come back time and time again. One might say it gets in your blood and you just want to go back.
Fira the capital is one of those traditional villages perched on the cliffs. Imerovigli, where we stay, is situated 2 km north from Fira on the lip of a higher cliff from where you can see from one side of the island to the sea on the other. A dream view from our balcony. We believe the walk between Imerovigli and Fira along the cliff top is one of the most beautiful walks in the world.

If you stay on Santorini it is an experience you will never forget. The beautiful villages of Fira, Oia and Imerovigli are perched on the cliffs so far above the sea it may well be a painting. It is impossible not to be impressed with their beauty. Santorini set on the Caldera is like a scene from a post card.
Quaint white washed dwellings hanging on the side of the cliffs looking out to azure colored waters the scenery is breathtaking. Red geranium’s overhanging window boxes and walls and roofs covered in a variety of bright colored bougainvillea.
Donkeys still transport tourists up and down the cliffs from the cruise ships while many visitors prefer to use the gondola for the sake of the poor donkeys.
