My World - Santorini countryside

A ride through the beautiful countryside of Santorini is one of the most enjoyable experiences for me. It is hard to not be totally awestruck by the beauty of it all.

We made our way from Fira to Oia and the pleasant ride takes us on a greenery landscape along the countryside of Santorini.

Here are some glimpses of my journey through my lens.

The typical white-washed villages are characteristic features of the Santorinian countryside.

Here, the greenery seems endless. Around the next bend, greens stretching as far as the eye can see. I could not believe how much green I saw!

The tranquil landscape arouses the feelings of home and family life with quiet villages and quaint cottages along the breathtaking ocean views.

We passed yet another splendid view along the way.

I truly enjoy the countryside, quite different from other European countries and re-looking at these photos once more and writing about it makes me want to go back to Santorini someday.

I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I have enjoyed taking them.

That's My World

  17. Nice pictures! I have visited Santorini in the summer but never at the time of year when it is green. I love the caldera, where the centre of the volcano used to be, too, the water is such lovely colours.
