During this dark, cold and rainy august bank holiday monday we're having I thought I would try and brighten things up a little with a few holiday photos from our trip to Santorini early this month. We spent 10 days on the southern volcanic sand beaches of Prevalos but spent some of our time exploring the island and its lovely towns. I would particularly recommend Oia in the north - famous for its beautiful sunsets, winding streets, white cavernous buildings and blue domed churches.  Perched on the cliffs of the coast line it was a wonderful way to wile away an afternoon looking at the pretty shops. I recommend walking to the most northern tip of the town to take in the incredible views from the lookout high above the Aegean. To watch the famous sunset we made prior reservations at one of the restaurants with prime views - as a popular tourist attraction hundreds gather along the streets to watch the sunset - so this is probably to best way to guarantee a seat and a nice cold glass of wine.
