Cycladic Church – Santorini, Greece – January 2014

These types of buildings are found all over Santorini and are quite photogenic. A lot of our two weeks there were spent just walking around exploring and seeing what we could see. Since we were there in the off season many of the restaurants and shops were closed so we were forced to get creative. But it was sort of fun because even when a cafe was closed if the owner was around they would open it up for you and make you an espresso and chat a bit. We felt very much at home on the deserted Greek island of Santorini in January.

Santorini, Greece – January 2014

We visited Santorini during the off season and most of the time it felt like we had the island to ourselves. The weather was in the warm, sometimes cool range, not the hot beach weather many come to the island for.

It was a nice time to relax and just enjoy each other’s company as we were there for our wedding anniversary. The people of Santorini were very nice and went out of their way to make us feel at home. I feel as though we got to see a unique side of Santorini since we visited in January. No crowds to fight and each day was very relaxing.

Sunrises and sunsets are a big part of the being on Santorini and we got to see plenty of them. Our time here was one of the highlights of our epic vacation.

This door was found during our time on the beautiful Greek island. In fact it was one of many very unique doors we came across while exploring there. Much of the island is so soft that they would carve out rooms on the cliff side and attach a door to it. I can see why there are whole photography website dedicated to doors.

The tiny island is in fact rich with photo opportunities and we hope to return one day. Have you been? What was your favorite part of your time in Santorini? Please do let us know in the comments below.
