Shot of the Day - # 49 - Fira’s Primo Corner Table

Can’t Beat the View, Santorini (8 October 2015)

In 2017, there were posts that summarized two very different vacations to the Greek island of Santorini. The first described an idyllic visit before the place was ‘discovered.’ The second was less complimentary.

That said, I also think the beaches there are fine and the food is great. The ancient restoration at Akrotiri is interesting when you think about how ancient life developed to that point (long before the Greek and Roman Empires) when it was suddenly snuffed out 3600 years ago.

And as I’ve said before, I cannot think of a place I’d rather be at sunset...and happy hour...and meal time but especially at sunset. Unlike the sunrise at the Grand Canyon where changing weather makes it an unreliable event, the skies here are almost always clear. If you come early enough to score a table like this, keep the rounds coming. You’re paying for the view.
