Santorini, Greece – A Travel Journal

The stunning island of Santorini is the setting for much of my novel Awakening. I spent one glorious day on the island of Santorini, during a Mediterranean cruise that sailed into the caldera (the sea-water-filled crater left after the center of the volcanic island blew up).

My husband I rented an ATV and zipped up and down the length of the island for the day. We toured from the scenic overlooks in Oia at the northern tip of the island, to the archaeological digsite at the southern tip, where remnants of the Minoan civilization have been unearthed.

Enjoy the beauty of this island. I am determined to go back and spend more time there, someday!

I suspected that the cover image designed for this version of Isle of Shadows was taken on Santorini. I made it a goal to find the location while there for the day, and I found it! I you look closely at the book cover, you can see the same building as the vista behind me.
And then, when I was taking a quick movie of the cover-location, some music started playing.  Watch this movie, and check out what happened when I panned around to the church behind me… 

I loved that so much!

 

 

The ruins of Akrotiri at the south end of the island. If you’ve read Awakening, this is where the ancient storyline is set.

 

 

 

Dolmades. Always my favorite.
