From Mykonos, I took another ferry to Santorini - totally awesome Santorini :-) This ferry was two hours late leaving Mykonos.
What you see here is a caldera formed when a volcano (seen reforming as that island left of center) exploded only about 3,600 years ago! The explosion is believed to have led to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on Crete, 100 miles away. It’s also believed that the destruction of Santorini may be the origin of the story of Atlantis.
The white on the tops of the cliffs is not snow, but rather very picturesque buildings. Also note the cruise ships - Santorini is a very popular destination.
