The greek island of Santorini, and in particular the town of Oia, is famous as being one of the most stunning places in the whole of Greece. On a recent visit, I can see why.
The town of Oia is your classic greek village, perched high on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. It a soe amazing little streets that twist and turn along the cliff and through some amazing buildings. The restaurants, hotels and shops all cling to the cliffs and whilst some of the walks can be pretty steep, the result is one amazing place.
Oia is full of the blue roofed churches that you see on postcards and television adverts of Greece everywhere. If they don't tell you where it is, the chances are it's Oia.
This obviously gave me a great opportunity to get some stunning pictures of both the blue roofs and other amazing, classic shots of the town. Whilst it got pretty hot trying to find the best vantage point for the pictures, including escaping the tourists, I hope you'll agree the results were worth it.
Oia is also famous for it's sunset, with coach loads of people coming to see it every night. Whilst we were lucky enough to be staying in Oia, it didn't stop me taking pictures of the sunset most nights. Here are some of those pictures. Overall, Santorini is one beautiful place.
