Greek Island: Santorini

Santorini is a volcanic island characterized by dark rock; famous for whitewashed cubical houses set on the side towards the top with some blue roofs. Oia village is the oldest settlement on the island and the most picturesque.

The island has small but flourishing wine industry. The pride of the island is the sweet red wine called Vinsanto. The white wine is very dry.
Santorini cherry tomatoes are renowned. They are very sweet and tasty. Other agricultural products particular to the island are Santorini beans (fava), white eggplants, and large cucumber (katsouni).

You can take public transportation or walk your way up to the village. You may have to share the path with the donkeys. The path is visible in the picture above and below.

Santorini is one of the most romantic islands. Almost every table has a view. It's a perfect place to grab a table and relax with bouzoki music and a cup of coffee. (See 'Table With a View' for more pictures)
