A romantic trip spent in Santorini...never have I seen an island so evocative, romantic and scenic!

and to think the choice was made after seeing Muccino's film "What Will Become of Us"......

We'll be back as soon as possible!

Day 15 Aug 2005

Departure from Fiumicino : Rome-Santorini By EuroFly

A very comfortable, very punctual and.....very calm flight! An airline we already knew...very very good. It belongs to the Alitalia group.

Discovery...of the Santorini Volcano....known as " Caldera"

A nice excursion...recommended only for lovers of climbs...tiring.....! We, having reached the first climb, went back down.....

Too many people and too hot...the volcanic rock and the black sand on the ground reflect too much heat!

Once back on the boat...everyone goes for a swim in the healing waters....

.....they say it brings good luck and is good for the skin! (We did swim, but aside from there being a huge temperature shock in the water, and going from deep blue to rust.....there's nothing else!)

IOS : Day trip to the famous "Nightlife" Island

We decide to go to Ios, the closest island...Just to have a bit of a different sea...seeing as in Santorini...only black beach...volcanic....and rocks....

Full of young people and life...beautiful beaches, all equipped for any water sport. We, as in the photo, did the 'FlyFish'....how cool!
