Beautiful Santorini Day 5 - Part I: The Red Beach

 We did many things on this day so I had to split the post into 2. Cloudy day when we first set off to the Red Beach which was on the other side of the island. We took the high road that day which did not terrify me on that day because we were on the other side of the road. But on another sunny day I was close to tears when we rode back that way. On the left, it's like landslides were about to happen. On the right, you basically look off a very steep cliff. The road was very narrow too. It's actually quite insane when you take the low road (as you can see in the picture below), glance upwards and see huge buses turning corners on the high road.


Spot the ship! 



 Couldn't help but take a photo of the clouds. Clear and crispy cotton.

 On our trusty scooter.

 Stopped at another scenic spot. 10 virtual high-fives to those who spotted the fishing circle!

 Watercolour studio and dramatic clouds:)

 We have arrived at the Red Beach!

 Gorgeous waters



 Check out the red lava sand.

 Lo and behold: TADA!


 See the tiny people laying on the beach? We have to go on a mini-hike to get down there. There was no real path cut out to get to the beach. Simply that we saw people there, so we figured it's possible.

 Up this steep rocky terrain



 See that couple up there? We came down from there. Quite scary cos the rocks would crumble when you step on them.


 We were standing at the edge where the group of people are earlier. Then the steep hike towards the left and down towards the beach.

 Spot a person who went the lower route





  
The shore in Santorini is always filled with pebbles. Walking into the water is like walking on those foot therapy stones.




 How to resist attempting artistic shots with the ring yet again :D






 We had a challenge of who can throw the stone the furthest :D


 I left my heartttt~in San- toriniiiii~



 In his eyes...




 The customary shot :) We make it a point to take our shadows in new places we visit when it's sunny.

 Crystal clear.

Door to Zeus? Yes, Greece has peculiarly shaped clouds.
