Santorini!

After a fun 2 days on Crete, we took a morning ferry to the small island of Santorini. It was quite windy as we rode the ferry; windy enough that if you stood on the one side of the ferry, salt spray would blow forcefully into our mouths. Mmmm! The delicious salt water of the Mediterranean. Finally, after a rocky 4 hours, we arrived on Santorini. Disembarking at the ferry terminal in Santorini was quite entertaining as the wind had picked up quite a bit more, making us have to run off as soon as it was safe and forcing the cars to wait between waves to drive off. Santorini used to be a larger island, but centuries ago, a volcano occured and collapsed upon itself, creating the islands of Therasia, Nea Kameni and Santorini as it is today.--Colleen
