Santorini/Thera (Greece) Photos

All images of this gallery were taken between May 31 and June 4 2015 on Santorini (Greece). For artistic reasons (I believe that photos should speak for themselves) no captions are displayed together with the images, but by holding your mouse over the thumbnails for a second you should get a brief title caption displayed as a popup-tooltip.
All images were taken with a Sony HX9V compact camera (which comprises a 24-384mm optical zoom range (in 35mm equivalent)).

I split the photos into themed portfolios of 6 images each as follows:

Emporio/ Gavrilos Mountain
Fira
Firostefani
Imerovigli
Mouzaki Bay

Oia 2
Perivolos Beach at Dusk
