After the three days on Naxos, we took a five hour ferry ride directly
to the island of Santorini.
Everything on the trip so far exceeded our
expectations, and Santorini pushed the envelope even further. The island
is actually the caldera remaining from a huge eruption about 3500 years
ago that destroyed the Minoan civilization. The towns are built on the rim
of the portions of the crater that soar above the Mediterranean, making
for one of the most scenic settings possible.
