Santorini - Return to the Cursed Island

I try my best to travel and explore new places, instead of returning to the known lands. Santorini is an exception. I have been there three times and it may never get old. It's rumored to be a cursed island. Something always goes wrong, but usually most things go right.

The main reason is the Red Bull Art of Motion. Once a year parkour and freerunners from all over the world gather here. The first week of October you can find this island swarming with athletes jumping from building to rooftop.

I started this blog to share my images grouped together Instead of just seeing the best ones in my portfolio or daily on instagram.

Here are some photos from the past two years at Santorini that don't have to do with the competition. We love to rent a quad and off roading can lead you to some magical places. There are a lot of hidden little trails, dirt roads and open land leading to abandoned structures. We always seem to find something new, even though we have been so many times.

Mich and Vova in Oia. The best Sunsets here. 

Always a lovely cafe around.

Renting a quad is the best.

I am already looking forward to returning next year.
