Walking through the daytime in Santorini, where the sun lingers

#OctoberTravelSupport The midday sun gently enveloped the whitewashed walls of Santorini. As I walked through the alleys of Oia, the breeze carried the salty scent of the sea, and the sky was endlessly transparent. In that moment, all sounds seemed to have subsided, yet even in that silence, the rhythm of life was palpable. As I climbed the white stairs, blue roofs caught my eye, and flowers bloomed in every window. Locals greeted me with smiles, and travelers, with their cameras, were busy capturing the scenery. I stopped by a small boutique shop, browsed handmade accessories, and paused in the shade. I paused for a moment in a cafe, where the aroma of coffee wafted in the air, the sound of the waves echoing in the distance. The sparkling Aegean Sea before me, and behind me, white buildings stacked on top of each other. Doing nothing here felt perfect. Simply sitting and gazing was enough to fill my heart. 📍 Oia, Santorini, Greece
