June 5

Accommodations at the Ira Hotel, halfway between the main town of Fira (Fhee-rah) and Imerovigli (eh-meer-oh-VIG-lee), where we will be concentrating on our photography.  These towns provide a wealth of photographic opportunities in various lighting situations as well as the magnificent caldera view.  During our time here we will be renting cars and travelling to the south end of the island to see the excavations at Akrotiri (the lost land of Atlantis) and to some of the smaller villages on the island.

June 6 Through June 9

Transfer to the north end of Santorini to the village of Oia (EE'-ah), accommodations at the Caldera Villas. These 4 days will be spent exploring and photographing the town of Oia.  Since 80% of the pictures that Greece uses for all of its tourism photos were taken in this town, there is no shortage of photographic possibilities.  There will also be the option of a boat trip to the volcano, inside the caldera, giving us the opportunity of seeing Santorini at its best, from the sea.

June 10

Depart Santorini for Athens and flights home. Depending on flight times, there might be the necessity of an extra night in Athens. Most people have booked at the Airport Holiday Inn , it’s not right at the airport about 10 minutes away by complimentary shuttle bus.
