The donkeys of Santorini
The famous Santorini sunset
The red beach

Another sunset
A boat tour took us to the volcano and for a swim in the volcanic hot springs
It looks like snow on a mountaintop but it’s actually a city on a cliff
The color of the water is hard to describe
On top of the volcano
Donkey ride
Glad the donkey is making this climb and not me
Inspiring scenery
More of the same

Our drive through the mountains was equally as awesome

Wow it looks so gorgeous. I’m glad you two got to take such a great trip!
Nice pictures. – No wonder the Greeks want to retire so early. They have to enjoy the scenery just as much as tourists have to.;-)
I have very similar amazing pictures from Santorini (and a picture of the “HOMER” boat in Firostefani). I stayed in Firostefani and loved it! Santorini is absolutely beautiful and maybe slighly overpriced in my opinion. Your pictures just took me back to a happy happy place from Greece 3 months ago! Kos, Santorini, Athens!!
I think your total $$ is very reasonable. I ended up spending close to $4000 (went alone), backpacking for 2 weeks through greece and turkey. Of course my airfare alone more than tripled yours, and I went in peak season.
Going back to look at your pictures again! Any buddy passes for sale? haha!
I also did the sailboat thing to the volcano and hiked to the top but did not pack flip flops..watching the sunset was absolutely amazing.. haha and yes, I live in Minneapolis too!
Very spectacular! Your bottom line numbers certainly sound great. I just read “Getting to Greece,” so I know you earned at least some of that discount in some anxiety exchange. Looking forward to hearing more!
