Sunset Paradise - Santorini, Greece




Istanbul was gorgeous at night, but Santorini ups the ante even more. Santorini is world famous for its sunsets (which are stunning), but the town of Oia (where I am staying) is picturesque 24 hours a day. The sky-blue accents from the doors, window seals, fences and roofs effortlessly complement the snow-white buildings. The cobblestone and marble streets are only wide enough for people, so the beauty is unobstructed by motorists of any kind. The sun, while powerful, is tamed by the constant sea breeze coming from the Mediterranean and the locals could not be friendlier. If you are in Greece, Santorini needs to be on your list.




I was in Santorini for two sunsets. Both were incredible!







Around every street corner, a photo opportunity presents itself. I took more photos in Santorini on the first day than I took in all of Turkey.

(I met 5 more Aggies. 2 for 2. Turkey, check. Greece, check. We are everywhere—and we love to represent.)
