If you have ever dreamed of a leisurely trip to Santorini, with enough time to photograph, and merely enjoy with no time pressures, then this is the trip for you. October is one of the best times to visit, as the weather is lovely and it is after the summer influx of tourists which doubles the population to approximately eleven thousand. The emphasis of our trip is on photography, our days will be filled with unique opportunities, in that there are so many wonderful hidden places to explore. Your leader will seek out obscure settings to visit, places you would not find on your own. Santorini, Greece is known as the home of one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. Discover the famous submerged caldera, the volcano’s crater, which is situated today in the middle of a thirty-two square mile basin of water. Around the basin, hanging on cliffs of 150 to 300 meters in height, one can admire some of the most beautiful traditional villages of the Cyclades. The lively colors of the white Cycladic houses and blue painted windows contrast stunningly against the black volcanic rocks rising from sea. This scenery inspires artists and visitors alike. A few of the villages are named Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, and Oia, all of which entail many steps on each of the daily outings. The island name comes from ‘Santa Irini’ and it is officially called Thera. Explore the iconic artistic locations of this picturesque island. Photograph the rich architectural colors, distinct blue domes, whitewashed buildings, brightly colored flowers, and warm friendly faces, against the blue Mediterranean sky.
On this sunlit island, one of the most beautiful in the world, our hotel is in the picturesque village of Firostefani. Situated in a quiet area, perched high up on the edge of the caldera, the lovely hotel offers a spectacular panoramic view of the volcanic islands, the far horizon and the deep blue sea. The hotel location is convenient, just a few minute walk from the island’s capital Fira, but away from the busy town center. The name Ira comes from ‘Hera’, a goddess of Greek Mythology and wife of Zeus. You will be transferred to the hotel from the Thira (JTR) airport.
Breakfasts will be taken at the hotel, other meals included at various local restaurants as listed in brochure. The food is both delicious and wholesome.
