I visited Santorini for the first time last summer, and was amazed. Simply one of the most magical places I have ever been.....


I will add a few if I may:

The pictures are great, but there is so much I wish I could show you of the island that make it even better.... the different cities, views, beaches, scenary.....

The pictures I posted are not mine personaly, just ones I got off the web that I saved....

When I went, can you believe we forgot the digicam!!! I was so mad you have no idea.... but my girlfriend had one of her old cameras, the shots came out ok, but it just doesn't do it justice and quality like my camera would have....


The place is simply magical imo....

HI, GUYS

I'm a new member, I'm a Turk living in the Netherlands, I have a question about Kavala.
I was there (together with my family) back in 1990, I really liked it although I was just 14. Is Kavala a known city? Do tourists know Kavala? Do you have pictures
Thanks in advance

I've been there, what a lovely place, simply outstanding, purely volcanic islands. Also, the donkey ride down is amazing, I'd suggest that instead of the cable car.

You took the donkey?


haha I opted for the cable car.... the donkey didn't look to inviting on all those steps.

Daft Freak,

I have received your private message, thank you for answering!
But I have a problem, I tried to send you a private message, but it didn't work
So I have to answer here,

Yes we were in Kavala in 1990 I guess, together with my family we drove by car from Holland to Turkey and stayed two nights in Kavala because it was so beautiful !!!
You are lucky to live there! Ciao brother!
