What a VT time! | Fira 'falling' down the cliff |
Thanks to the wonderful JanetAnne and Galatea (Sinequanon) for arranging the 2007 European VT Meet on Thira (Santorini) and giving us all a wonderful opportunity to see this beautiful Greek island - it is certainly a sight worth seeing.
Fira is the main town on the island and was the base for most VT-ers attending the weekend long meeting. On Friday, we had a lovely sunset at Oia (Ia) followed by dinner next to the port at Ammoudi.
On Saturday, many of us hopped aboard the boat to cruise around the caldera and enjoy a late lunch at the village atop Thirassia.
On Sunday evening, it was an opportunity to swap e-mails and say a final goodbye to friends made during the weekend whilst enjoying dinner at a restaurant in Fira itself.
All in all, a great time was had by all and the venue was perfect! |

| Pros: | "Beautiful views across the caldera where the volcano is still nice and hot!" | | Cons: | "Lots of steps - up and down!" |

nice place,I've never been on a Greek island.Now I know where to go About the candles-people working there must throw the candles when they become smaller(not imidiately),they protect from fire. I saw in Romania-they lit the candles in a tray with water. | nicolaitan Mon Jul 27, 2009 13:50 UTC
