Good night shots.

Stunning photos. Your sharing is very much appreciated especially seeing it without the crowds.

KarenWoo Jun 2nd, 2021 12:43 PM

And it's so nice to see photos of someone's vacation instead of always talking about COVID!

We will be in Santorini for 6 more days, then heading to Rhodes for 9 days. We are celebrating two special occasions birthday (mine)and our wedding anniversary.

scrb11 I am just using my iphone.

jeffergray we are not staying at Hector Cave house, I just love taking pictures of stairways, doors and empty streets/alley.

Treesa Thank you, nice to know you like my pictures.

We feel lucky being here. No crowds at all. Our waiter told us that most of the people in Santorini are vaccinated. I don’t know how true that statement.

Tomorrow my quest to fine a really good baklava will continue.

Is it iPhone 11 or 12, which have the Night Mode?

Stunning photos! I used to carry a bulky SLR or a high end point & shoot. The iPhone cameras are so good I now leave my cameras at home except when I need a long range telephoto lens. They say the best camera is the one you have with you.

Gorgeous photos! The first photo looks like it's overlooking where we stayed...but then those whitewashed cave rooms tend to look alike. I LOVED staying in Oia. Hope to go back (relatively) soon.

These are some stunning photos! Thank you for sharing them. Santorini is a gorgeous, other worldly place and your photos have captured this. It's nice to see people's experiences.

What vaccination card are you showing? Is it the white paper CDC card? I am very confused about "vaccination certificate."

The card they gave me when I got vaccinated. It has the CDC logo on the corner, plus the dates I received my shots.

Every one of your gorgeous photos belong in a magazine. My favorite is the stunning pinky/purple dusk scene. Santorini is so blue and white lovely which makes the dusk

TPAYT Jun 5th, 2021 03:38 AM

Ooops! Makes the dusk scene stand out.

Santorini definitely goes on my must see list.

Come here now when it is empty.

We finally found a place that has delicious baklava!

That may have been mine. But I agree that the colors of the dusk are gorgeous set against the blue and white.

cafegoddess, you make me wish I were back there right now. October was quiet. I would love to see it as it reopens.

Thank you for the specific information about the vaccination certificate. I just looked at mine again, and it does have the CDC logo in the upper right-hand corner. It is the white paper card they gave us when we got vaccinated.

My husband just read an article in Travel and Leisure about the European digital certificate. Seven countries have signed up for it to date. The EU Commission is in talks with the US to create a digital certificate, which might be in place before we go to France in August. But I will still bring my paper certificate as a back-up. I don't like to rely solely on digital/cell phone documents. Never know when your phone will go dead or can't get a signal, etc.
