OIA - BELL TOWER

SANTORINI, GREECE

Image Number 512

Oia is a picture perfect village in the north west edge of the Santorini island.  It extends for 2 kilometres along the edge of the caldera that forms the island. It is built on the steep slope of the caldera and the houses and restaurants are built into niches carved into the cliff on the seaward side. Oia is an idyllic complex of white washed blue domed churches and charming, traditional Cycladic houses and cave houses.  It offers excellent views of the sunset over the caldera.  In summer over 120,000 visitors from cruise ships visit Oia every day and the tiny main street literally becomes impassable.  Oia no longer has a local population - almost all houses have been converted to pensions.

SKIATHOS TOWN

SKIATHOS, GREECE

Image Number 438

Skiathos is a small Greek island in the northwest Aegean Sea. Skiathos is the westernmost island in the Northern Sporades group.  In the 14th century the inhabitants moved the capital to Kastro (the Greek word for castle), located on a high rock at the northernmost part of the island.  After the War of Independence and demise of piracy in the Aegean, Kastro became less important as a strategic location. In 1830s, the island's capital was moved backto the original site — where it remains. Today, theruins of Kastro are a tourist attraction. During the 19th century Skiathos became an important shipbuilding centre due to the pine forests on the island.  A small shipwright remains north of Skiathos Town, which still builds traditional Greek fishing boats.

PORT OF VOLOS, CENTRAL GREECE

Image Number 422

Volos is a port city on the east coast of the Greek mainland, situated midway between Athens and Thessaloniki. Modern Volos is a relatively new city. It is mainly built on the area of the ancient city of Iolcus.  Iolcus was the homeland of the mythical ancient Greek hero, Jason. This is also where he and the Argonauts began their voyage on their ship, the Argo, in search of the Golden Fleece. A replica of the Argo can be seen on the waterfront of Volos, The waterfront consists of a car-free promenade, lined with an exceptional number of café-bars. Summertime evenings spent on the waterfront are particularly enjoyable, as you can take a pleasantly warm stroll along the promenade.  You will also find yourself walking alongside the numerous sailing boats and a small number of traditional fishing boats that dock there.
