Santorini from the cable car
The isle of Eugenia, home of pistachio trees.
A woman making rugs in Turkey..Seeing the ancient ruins like the Parthenon, built in 432 BC! Just touching the marbled stones gave me a chill to think I was standing where ancient Greeks orated and fought and honored their gods and goddesses.
One of my favorite places was Santorini, a small island in the Aegean Sea which was formed by a volcano. Its village sits on top of the small mountain. As we pulled into port and debarked, we learned that the only way to the village was by cable car of donkey! I chose the cable car because I felt bad for the lil donkeys...but that's their job and I suppose they do it well.
All in all, it's a beautiful country....the food is good...the people are nice....what more could one ask for?
Peace

Greek food is to die for. I love it.
I'm glad you had such a wonderful time. I would have felt sorry for the donkeys too.
Have a terrific day. :)
I had the same feeling about touching the ancient marble structures. In fat, I would sometimes slip my shoes off so I could walk barefoot on the marble floors where people had walked for thousands of years before me.
Santorini was also one of our most favorite spots in Greece. We also chose the cable car over the donkey ride, although we still got the 'donkey' smells! Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Big hugs...
I love your pictures, and undoubtedly, that is one of the most beautiful and peaceful parts of the world.
So glad you're safely home, though.
