Odos Nikolaou Nomikou  a long name for a very narrow inland pedestrian way.  Our taxi driver called ahead to Yannis at Zoe Aegeus to arrange to have someone meet us and carry our luggage down to our apartment.  When we left at 5.00am someone arrived as promised to haul our bags back up.  There are only 30 taxi's on the island so it is usual to have to share a ride to and from the airport.  All parties paying the full fare, this is common in Greece.
The shopping on Santorini is excellent.  

This was one of our favourite stores, specializing in items from Asia.  The owner was quite happy to discuss his travels along the old Silk Road in search of thing to bring back to Santorini. 

Elsewhere there were any number of beautiful items made by craftsmen from around the world who have settled on Santorini.  Spectacular glass, pottery and jewelry all displayed with great flair.   Many items we would have loved to own but didn't even have the nerve to ask the price of.
The puppet makers store, another favourite.
I had to return to re-take these pictures when I realized the peak on my cap was obscuring the built in flash on my camera!
