Description

Santorini is full of traditional villages with whitewashed houses, cobble-stone narrow streets and friendly villagers moving around with their donkeys. All of them attract tourists and the shops and cafes are always busy.
*******************************************
One of the most visited villages is Fira, which is also the capital of the island. It offers an exquisite volcano view and it is full of expensive jewellery and souvenir selling shops, clubs, cafes and restaurants. On its narrow streets you will often notice artists from all over the world offering to draw your portrait, street singers and instrument players.
*******************************************
Toward the north you will come across Oia or Ia, the most photographed village in Greece. Life is quieter here than in Fira, with fewer bars but the cafes and restaurants are plentiful and there are also many shops flooded by tourists. The main reason why tourists visit Oia is the spellbinding sunset view for which hordes of people gather in the afternoon and wait for hours till the sun sets to take photographs.

This acrylic painting was a request from my granddaughter after she read the book "The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants".
