The scenery of Fira, Santorini

>> Monday, 23 June 2008

Here are more photos of Fira, Santorini. Bet you guys are wondering whether is that all I have got. I was actually chilling out over the weekend after a 7-days long trip. It was quite tiring as I have to carry all my gears from morning till night, but I think it is really worthwhile.

Here is a photo of the main church in Fira. Saw this tiny statue sitting on the roof of another house so I tried to shoot from this angle.

This is how it looks like. Notice the shark beside the red door?

These are the restaurant bars that you will never see in a city!
Some of the decorations are only feasible in Santorini because it rarely rains there. At most, it only rains during winter.

The houses in the background are mostly villas or residential area. Imagine waking up to a breathtaking sea view or watching the sunset everyday from your balcony. Also, I would highly recommend this place for honeymoon!

Nice view of Fira

The island in the background is a dormant volcano.

I simply just love the design and decors of the restaurants.

That's the dormant volcano. Apart from the volcano there is a high sulphur level hot spring.

Lastly, to all the donkey lovers or to those who love the movie shrek, here we are at the donkey station! Donkey is one of the method used to travel around the island or to the old port which is located far down the cliff.
