Light & Land Tour

I am thrilled to be returning to this spectacular Greek island for what promises to be a feast of photographic opportunities.

Many of the villages of Santorini are perched on the edge of one of the most spectacular volcanic calderas on the planet. The magnificent views from the edge of the caldera take in picturesque villages scattered with the exquisite blue domed churches for which the Greek island is famed.

The volcanic setting is simply awesome, so much so that an image of it was used by the Greek Tourist Agency to represent Greece as a whole. Mythic and literary connections abound; the main island Thira has been linked to the mythical lost city of Atlantis and Jules Verne famously featured Santorini in his book, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea.

Whitewashed houses with barrel roofs appear to drip down the cliff faces like melting ice cream, until the land gives way to a 900-foot drop into the blue sea below. Every village is dotted with blue domed churches and bell towers, which are one of the most instantly recognizable icons of Greece, and synonymous with Santorini. These will no doubt be favoured subjects for our photography. 

During our visit, we will be out photographing at both dawn and dusk, making the most of village locations in crossover light. The island boasts the kind of sunsets that will live in your mind forever.
