Yes, Santorini has another side to it.

My journal Uncategorized

After visiting Santorini many times you are lucky to discover the local aspects of the island.

One of them being the small town of Pyrgos. This is usually where I love to stay when I go with my family.

This year after having lunch in the town square of Pyrgos at Kantouni restaurant we booked or stay on the beach of Perivolos.
Staying on the cliffs of Santorinis Caldera in the middle of August is completely insane. Prices are through the roof and the crowds make it somewhat unpleasant.

And after visiting the calmness of Amorgos we chose to be on the beach. A bit more family-friendly and spacious it was a welcome 2 nights.
The volcanic black beach is unique and revitalizing.
Worth considering when on the island of Santorini.

Chania Crete photographer workshop in the Canary Islands
Looking back at the Wolves Workshop in the Canary Islands It was that time of the year for me. I had to take a break and expand my knowledge. The best part of it was that I could combine those both together. How did this happen? Well, there happened to be a passionate Spanish photographer called Pablo Beglez with an itch for sharing knowledge and for meeting and making new friends. Pablo put together The Wolves Workshop on a heavenly little island off the cost of Lanzarote called La Graciosa. Upon my arrival on the island I was content with just the location. A volcanic scenery with just one and a half villages, no paved roads ...
