Santorini
the 10 km diameter exploded vulcano seen from the airplane (direction west to east, at the background Anafi) |
Santorini
paddling the inner circle is a beatiful experience (here below Fira). |
The East
side
of the volcano is heavily eroded. Hundred meter cross section shows an interesting geological history. |
Thira
is the capital of the island Santorini. Tourists disembark large cruise ships to visit the city built at the edge of the volcano (the caldera). |
The black sand of the beaches reflects the volcanic nature of the island. After a short visit we head for a more abandoned places. |
Ia
lies in the north of Santorini. It is even more beautiful than Thira because of its traditional white houses and quite atmosphere. |
