Sitting on a bus after leaving home this morning at 8:15am and returning at 11:15 pm

 Sorry i have been away for a while but i have been busy trying just to get through the last few weeks of working two part-time jobs and a few hours with the cruise boats and a private tour i had .This has been a summer of really becoming aware of Santorini and it's life in a way i never believed i would ever see .The island has its own beauty and mysteries that i can never describe or put in a photograph as much as i would love to bring to you and my words are simple in explaining the richness of a history of the local people of the island who for me are a very close-nit community that over the years allowed me to call  my second home .
 At the beginning of the season  i let myself be taken in by someone and loss out in been able to stay in Oia but it was a chance for me to see where my love and comfort zone is and it still after 15 years is in Oia where the local people ask me why i'm living in fira each time i answer it makes me yearn to be back in my village but i have to wait until the season finishes and the one or two houses become available for rent again as most property in oia is rented to holiday accommodation demand to stay in..
There are so many shops ,hotels and restaurants on the island that i can recommend on my blog  but i kept it simple by suggesting the places that make me  martina a person who from the heart always expresses to visitors what they should do or go to knowing that in the end they would find that joy i have had over my years here and the feeling of finding the greek hospitality that keeps me here .
