SANTORINI - GREECE

Santorini

walking the the village

Santorini is really a very unique island with its own character and style. The various towns are built on the top of a cliff or even on the cliff itself.  This is one of the unique features of the island that you won't be seeing anywhere else.

One thing  on Santorini most of the things worth visiting are sort of spread out.   Nothing seems to be within walking distance, unless you want to see specific things that happen to be within one town. 

View on the Cliffs

We took the Cable Car which starts from the town of Fira and takes us down to the old port of Santorini, which is where most island boat-tours start from.  Another way to down there (or back up to the town of Fira) is to take the steps...either on foot or by donkey.

Most of our students tried donkey ride!!

Santorini has many different villages with the majority of them either located by the sea or built on the cliff.  It is strongly suggested to visit Oia, a small village at the far end of the island. 

Santorini has a lot of very old churches, some of which are thousands years old.  If you are into this sort of thing, there is a lot for you to see on the island.
