Santorini
Santorini is dramatic, windswept and full of color. White houses cling to rocky cliffs, domes and doors in deep blues and ochres glow in the light, and the sea feels endless in every direction. It is a place of extremes, volcanic landscapes, bold flavors and dry winds, softened by quiet chapels, hidden paths and long golden evenings. Beyond the postcard views lies a slower pace, villages where life moves gently and wine flows from earth blackened vines. Come for the views, stay for the soul and a glass of local wine at dusk.
