I visited Thira, Santorini in 2001 as part of an NCL Agean Sea cruise. In fact, the cruise boat floated into the caldera twice. In the first instance the wave action in the bay was considered too much of a peril during barge boarding so the visit was aborted.
At the time I was participating in a Sunday morning mass with Msgr. Askew attending. The colors of mineralization of the caldera sides were striking viewed from the disco bar area just below the bridge.

When the cruise ship returned a few days later the skies were overcast and the pleasure of my visit was dulled. The constant chill fall wind didn’t help much either. But I did enjoy the company of a female angel on a walk down the winding footpath from top to bottom.
