We were just on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini. A lot of the towns on the island are located on the cliffside and buildings are built directly into the side of the cliff. Our hotel was located on one of the highest peaks of the island, giving us amazing views of the sea and the sunsets. On our first day in Santorini, we ventured over to the other side of the island where most of the beaches are located and went to a black sand beach near the town of Perissa. We also celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary while in Santorini. For it, we took a boat tour to the nearby volcano, swam in some natural hotsprings, went to the neighbouring island of Thirassia and ended the tour with a donkey ride back up the cliffside to where our hotel was located. The donkey ride (and the smell) is something we will not soon forget! Santorini is definitely a beautiful place to visit!
