A Greek Island, Santorini

Other passengers told me Santorini is the typical picturesque Greek island. It is what I thought a Greek island would be like and then some. It is the rim of an under water volcano with the town of Fira at 1,200 feet above sea level. I took the cable car instead of the stairs. 

The volcano was one of the largest in 10,000 years when it blew in 1613 BC.  It has erupted less severely as recently as 1950 but, its due for another big one. With our recond of events near-about this ship it should blow up tomorrow sometime just after we've left. At one point this morning there were 6 cruise ships in the harbor.

















Three ships around the center of the volcano.
