"Island of Steps" Santorini Island by Gillybob

Santorini Island Travel Guide: 1,603 reviews and 5,129 photos

Up hill and down cliff

What a beautiful island this is. We all had a wonderful time visiting Santorini for the European VT Meeting 2007 (1 - 3 June 2007).

View back to Fira

As you can imagine, those of us that were fit (not me), got even fitter.

Up to one of the churches in Pyrgos

Those of us that were in the progress of getting fit, made great progress.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beautiful Caldera views with great sunsets
Cons:This island does not come in a disabled friendly version
In a nutshell:More cables cars, less steps please!

Last visit to Santorini Island: Jun 2007
