This week’s blog post is a mishmash of a last few images of the photogenic island of Santorini, in Greece’s Cyclades archipelago. Again, you will find the relatively common white-and-blue theme, and variations on it… Next week, it’s back to the mainland for a final Greek blog post!
The villages of Fira, Imerovigli, and Emporio in Santorini are just as stunning as their more readily recognised cousin, the exclusively blue-and-white Oia.

Oia village, in Santorini, is a minimalist photographer’s dream. The white buildings and their blue details sit crisply against the cloudless blue skies. Everywhere you look, you see only the colours of the Greek flag. The whole town is one large postcard you can walk through, with photo opportunities at (very literally) every corner. To me, this was one of the few places I’ve been where I found the harsh afternoon light in the middle of Summer to make for just as stunning images as sunrise and sunset. Oia took my breath away - enjoy some of my highlights below!
Santorini is one of the most popular destinations in Greece, thanks to its stunning beaches and architectural style. Over the next few weeks, I will share more images from all over this beautiful island, where we spent four days exploring the different villages and soaking in the sunkissed landscapes. So to start off, here are some beachside photos from Santorini…
