Hi, welcome to the Bradley family Travel Blog! The point of the blog is to let our family and friends see what we are doing and if they ever go to these places they can choose what to see and what to avoid. We tend to lean toward the more active side - like "leave no stone unturned" so if you want to go at a more leisurely pace, you can just pick and choose. Choose a destination above, on the map, or in the groups on the right hand side of the page.

Happy travels, Phill, Shellie, Bix, Brooke

Santorini, Greece Day 8


Today we went to the beautiful main island of the group of islands called Santorini.  Santorini rests at the top of a huge volcanic crater rim for which the dormant caldera is underwater.  From the islands there are spectacular views of the Mediterranean.  The cities themselves with their white houses and blue domed churches are a beautiful contrast.


We visited  winery overlooking the Mediterranean and  tried some local wines.  We liked the white wine the best.  Grapes are grown all over the island and thrive on the humidity. 










After the winery and the island tour we went back to the ship.  We had two choices - a cable car that repels almost straight down the cliffs of the island or a donkey trail - a winding set of switchback stairs that you can travel on by foot or on the back of a donkey - watch out for land mines!
