That first morning, a low level mist floated on the ocean, rising above it in the distance we could see the Island of Crete.  It was sublimely peaceful,
the only sound, that of Vangelis playing the theme from Chariots Of Fire.  It  drifted quietly on the still morning air and will forever remind us of that perfect moment.
Imerovigli from the Rocka.  A row of umbrellas on the  terrace of Rocca Bay can be seen in the top left.  

In the center is the church of  Panaghia Maltesa

The official name of the island is Thira in honour of a Spartan invader but it is known the world over as Santorini.  The name given to it by the Venetian crusaders of Skaros Castle in honour of their patron Saint Irene. The flag was raised on the rocka in 1207

 

 
Pretty little house I passed on the way down to the Rocka.
