Fira

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 43 mm, 1/125 sec at f/8, ISO 64

We went for a relatively early 9AM walk from our village of Firostefani to the nearby town of Fira (which is the main hub on Santorini). The path winds it’s way along the cliff edge with impressive views along the way. These are views towards Fira from the Firostefani side with the impressive Moni Profiti Ilia mount in the distant background. There’s a monastery (Prophet Elias) way up on the top of the mountain (which we’d visit later)

Morning Santorini

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 1/100 sec at f/8, ISO 64 x 8 Frames

Good morning Santorini! The low clouds certainly made the view towards Imerovigli interesting with the upper reaches disappearing into the clouds

Santorini Nights

A wide 180˚+ panoramic view as day turns to night at the tail end of twilight (9:20PM). As the sunset glow fades on the horizon, the ring of Santorini’s villages lights up from all the places clustered along the cliff edge

Firostefani View

We picked up our hire car at the main ferry port near Fira and drove to our accomodation

We’re staying in Firostefani which is on Santorini’s crater rim. The main town of Fira (also on the crater rim) is to the left of us and to the right is the village of Imerovigli with Skaros rock just in front of it (it’s that silhouetted bit sticking up just to the right of the sun). Way to the right (out of view and almost 10km around the crater rim) is the town of Oia

Here’s a first look 180˚ view from the balcony of our place – having a crater and sunset view comes at a premium but the view was pretty special
