this site is always being refreshed, new holiday destinations in Greece are being added as I travel around Greece, the Greek Islands Santorini Island & most links here are on the Greek Island of Crete as I lived there for a while.
If you would like to add yourself to a hall of fame, you can send in scenic photos, photos of your Greek holiday on Santorini and I will include them here with your name & your story of your holiday if you wish (no charge!)
Everyone jumped up to catch early photos of Santorini as the boat neared this spectacular Greek Island!
Island Hopping to Santorini Island Greece
Island hopping is extremely easy and very cheap around the Greek Islands including island hopping to the super scenic volcanic island of Santorini. Regular boats leave from most of the other Greek islands plus from Piraeus in Athens taking you by boat trip around these fantastic islands quickly and cheap!
Santorini blew its top over 3000 years ago allegedly putting an end to the advanced Minoan civilisation.
Meanwhile modern day Santorini residents are building any which way but loose! Houses, bars and studios and apartments cling to the remains of the crater created by the now extinct volcano!
You can see from these photos of Santorini the Greeks have build large villages and made windy paths down to the seashore. I spotted a huge new hotel complex being built on the top moulded into the shape of the rock. As for the photo bottom left, I could not locate any road or path to this little Greek church! Perhaps if I had been able to photograph it closer, there is a pully system? The ferry boat pulled into the arrival port, which had not changed or been renovated in any way since my last visit years and years ago! Most Greek studios and apartments remain extremely basic but the prices do not quite reflect their condition!
