Santorini is famous for its sunsets, and for good reason. They are gorgeous. And, I guess it's also because there's nothing blockading the view---you can see the entire sunset from start to finish from the island. We've watched three sunsets from two different points on the island. One place we've gone is the famous town of Oia (pronounced EE-ah), which is where you see the picturesque pictures from Greece---the white houses with blue accents and the churches with the blue domes stuck into the cliffs of the island. These images are what I think of when I think of Greece, and now I've gotten to see it in true form. I love Oia, it is my favorite place in Santorini. Isn't it beautiful?

We also went to another high point on the other side of the island one evening, and the sunset was equally beautiful. It wasn't in the middle of a town, so there weren't as many people watching it. Very romantic!

We watched our final sunset tonight, as we leave our little home in Greece tomorrow. We went to a cafe that overlooks the Caldera.
