This is the place where white coloured houses sit shoulder to shoulder, where the blue colour of the sea is only rivalled by the blue of the sky. It as if heaven is on earth.
这里有蓝白相间的房子,蓝色的海面蓝色的天空,就像来到了天堂的家。
With no hesiatation, I get changed into my swimsuit and make my first contact with the Aegean sea.
我决定一定要换上泳衣,让身体与爱琴海来一次最近距离的接触。
This is Santorini's Kamari Beach, it's situated on the east coast of the island and is a small journey from Fira, the main town of Santorini. The beach is known for it's black pebble sand beaches, the remnants of its historic volcanic activity. Without wearing some diving shoes or some sandals, the pebbles can be quite painful. Definitely different from the usual soft and fine grain sands that i'm used to at other beaches but it was my first experience and like with every first experience, full of curiosity. Black Sand beaches are well known in Greece and the Aegean Sea as well as the water being quite cool and clear. There are some people that say Volcanic rock has some cosmetic benefits, and this reminds me of the market places selling cleansing masks made from Volcanic rock.
这里是圣托里尼的Kamari Beach,距离费拉市非常近的距离,是一个长方形黑色沙滩。圣托里尼岛独特的火山地质造就了卡玛里独特的黑色沙滩。看起来,沙滩和海面都是黑的,真的好特别呀,就是光脚踩起来非常割脚,毕竟没有像一般的沙滩那样细软的沙子,说实话这是我第一次见到黑色的沙滩,所以非常好奇,黑色海滩在希腊很有名,海水清凉、干净,据说黑色的火山岩碎石还有美容的作用,这让我想起了市面上的化妆品,火山岩清洁面膜等等。
This is Oia, Santorini's second largest town and it's also perhaps the most well known. The houses here are entirely built on the cliff faces over hanging the sea coast. Oia is almost famous for one of the world's best views of Sun Set. On the first day I arrived, I searched for the best place to watch the sun set, but I found that the little town had many other people with the same idea. It was so packed with people, probably in the tens of thousands all enjoying the sunset view. At the sunset's last moment, there is a big roar from the thousands of spectators each travelled from all parts of the world to watch this spectacle. Their applause re-affirms that the view was well worth the journey.
这里说说Oia小镇,
伊亚镇是圣托里尼岛上的第二大镇,也是最有名气的小镇。小镇的房子基本上完全建立在海边的悬崖上,他的有名还在于伊亚小镇拥有世界上观看落日最美的地方。刚到的那天下午,我就开始寻找观看日落的地方,但是发现小镇的路上人挤人,成千上万的游客都在享受夕阳的温度和日落的美好,在太阳落下的那一刻,大家都会情不自禁的鼓掌,来自世界各地的游客已经被大自然的美景折服了。
The most unforgettable experience was when I stayed up all night to see Santorini's sunrise. As the sun rays hit the blue and white houses over hanging the cliff, it is as if the town wakes up with the sun. Its truly a beautiful sight.
让我最难忘的是,我通宵熬夜看到了圣托里尼的日出,太阳透出蛋黄般嫩嫩的鹅黄色,洒在每一个蓝白色的房顶上,那种感觉太美好了。
