Sanorini

After the bustle of Athens, we fell in love with the Greek Island of Santorini.

We booked the perfect suite overlooking the Aegean Sea.

This stop was all about relaxation, and enjoying the Greek Island honeymoon environment instead of rushing from site to site in our jam-packed travel itinerary.

Jesse and I enjoyed just walking around the island.  The architecture we had seen in pictures was even more brilliant up close.

Mythos lager was a perfect way to prepare for the sunset. It quickly became an everyday occurrence. 

Other tourists would try to come on to our picture perfect balcony to watch the sunset.

We rented a decrepit old car to see the rest of the island.

The Greek islands have a unique, mysterious quality that allows their vineyards to survive hundreds of years where, most wineries replant their vines every 30-40 years.  Unlike most grape vines, the vine is nurtured into a basket on the ground to protect the plant from the arid, windy climate.

This is my favorite island view taken in Oia.

The beautiful blue church tops are the landmark feature of Santorini. 

This was Jesse's favorite view of the island.  We ducked down about ten alleys to find what Jesse calls "the classic picture of Santorini" 

The view of the island from the Oia cliff top was amazing!  We were sad to move on.
