I just got back from Santorini, Greece this morning. Arriving at London Gatwick airport at about 3AM. Gosh! What airline flies at that time? Surprisingly there are many people already camping at the airport so we are not alone.
Anyway, on the first day after we have landed at Santorini airport, we took a taxi to our hotel. Our hotel is located in Perivolos which is on the east coast of the island.
When we arrived at the hotel the first thing that caught my eyes was the swimming pool! Come to think of it, I haven't been swimming in a pool for years and the last time I actually swam was during my diving course in Tioman.
The amazing part of Santorini is that all of the houses are painted white with blue doors and windows. Just like the colour of Greece flag!
This is our room. In case you might be wondering, most of the houses there are as beautiful as this if not better!
Another thing you might not realise is that Santorini is a volcanic island. That is why you are seeing black sand on the beach. That is known as the black beach. Also, don't be too surprised as there is actually a red beach too!
These sunbeds and shades can be rented for 6 euros.
There are lots of bars and restaurants along the south east coast of Santorini from Perivolos to Perissa.
p/s: The sky is actually this blue as the photos were not edited and they are all original.

I camped in Stansted before and 5am onwards it was chaos.. KLIa can only dream for the crowd.
yeah...we went there at about 10ish in the evening the day before as our check in time was 4am! can't help it.
haha i guess most ppl have their own transport in malaysia that is why they do not have to camp at the airport.
I love the colour of the sky.. very blue!.. sigh, when can i have the chance to take such nice pics like urs! i really do admire the wonders of ur camera and ur skill of cos! you awesome! =)
Wow. This place is looks like a dream! Did you work some PS magic into the skies or were they really that blue?
Sandra: haha im still learning...u r good too!! yes the sky is really amazing.
pamsong: i know you'll do magic to photos with your mac :p but nahh these photos are straight from the camera no editing or whatsoever just resizing and adding borders. No joke! Barely any clouds there though.
I'm going to Santorini next week!!!! Let me know where are the good places!
Yeah. But the problem is, with my comp dead, I no longer have certain plug-ins I enjoy using.
You see, I take all my pics with my W810i. So noise is very high. And the colour isn't great. So I usually doctor my pics to make it look better. =)
Junkie: the good places are Fira (that is the capitol of Santorini), Oia (pronouce 'ia') which is great for sunset, kamari, perivolos, perissa are located on the east coast which is where the black beach is located and akrotiri is where the red beach is.
pamsong: yeah i noticed that you are using a mac book :) is it a hard disk or memory problem? maybe you doctor your pics too much and it can't take it anymore? :p
yeah most digicams or phone camera couldn't cope well with night shots.
