Beaches and beyond

The are about a dozen beaches in Santorini- most of them are black sand beaches. We explored several. During our explorations we discovered an area for children to ride their bikes. These would have been great additions to Camp Todd!
 






This is the road to the port of Fira where cruise ships unload busloads of tourists.






We settled for the afternoon in the beach of Perivolos.














We then drove to the highest point on the island where we took the panoramic photos in the first post. At the top is both a military post and a monastery.







We then explored other towns on the island. The architecture is striking throughout.






I hope to post about driving in Greece later, but one exciting characteristic is that the roads are quite narrow. This is a two-lane road.
