Mykonos. A great first island. The town was a blast to get lost in. The streets were designed to confuse raiding pirates, and we can attest that they did a pretty good job. |
Gorgeous bright flowers in the whitewashed town. |
This is Paros, our second island. It was a very laid back place without too many crowds and very nice beaches. |
Paros also had a wonderful port and marina. |
And Paros gave us the most colorful sunset of our trip. |
Santorini, created by a volcano, is spectacular with its whitewashed towns on cliff tops high above the sea. |
But the crowds here smelled a bit different than crowds in other places... |
A typical, picturesque home in Fira, the main town of Santorini. Almost all the buildings are white with blue trim/doors. |
Santorini used to be a big round island, but it exploded. Now it's a crescent moon shape with the center of the volcano on a separate island in the center. |
The town of Oia (ee-ah) is known for its gorgeous sunset views. |
The wonderful clouds at our final night on the islands wanted to bid us a fond farewell. It was a wonderful, relaxing week. |
