Sunrise...and a new day breaks through in Imerovigli. The town is the highest lookout point along the caldera. Higher room rates makes this a more costly choice than most, but the views are worth it.

Perissa is a great place. By design, we stayed there to shake off jetlag. Good vibes throughout. Very good restaurant row. Stargazing.

Whereas other isles are known for their cats, It seems that Santorini is known among animal lover as 'the dog island'. This canine ran out of gas on Candouni road.

Cycladic islanders do not always have nice things to say about their fellow Greeks who live on other isles. Apparently, residents of other isle refer to Santorinians as 'the sleepy dust eyes people' i.e. not very sharp. This gent lived in the Lotza district between Oia and Finikia.

In 630 BC, locals left the isle to colonize Cyrene in Africa. But archaeologists still do not agree on whatever happened to those folks who fled the original BIG BANG volcanic eruption that created the caldera which we see today.

The main town of Fira remains the epicenter. It is always busy. We sought out the classic 'Nikolas' taverna there, in order to gift the waitstaff there something special. That was the enlarged photo portrait that I'd once taken of the owner back in '92. That owner was off on errands. With perfect dramatic timing, he arrived back at the taverna just we were leaving. Other diners gave a round of applause for the now-old man. Best. Damned. Olives!!!

A professional recording studio called 'Black Rock' exists on Santorini, down by the ancient Akrotiri ruins. Bjork and Joe Bonnamassa are just two of the many artists who've made albums there.
