Welcome to Santorini!!!

Ok, I'll be honest. After getting here last night it was a bit of a let down. Our hotel is not *in* town, but right on the outskirts. So we don't get those wonderful views right outside our window, nor is our hotel just gorgeous. But since the city is situated on the top of a caldera the sight is simply amazing. AMAZING. I mean just to get to the city/towns you have to wind your way up the caldera.

Basically, this was a volcano that simply erupted leaving the caldera and only portions of the rim where you can see it. It's also the place where atlantis is supposedly held. The sight is simply gorgeous though. But since I don't like heights, it's also a place of great anxiety LOL.

I'll post a little more after I explore the city and beaches though. Santorini better live up to it's hype dagnabit.
