Day 5, Greece Art Trek: Akrotiri and the Red Beach, Santorini
5" x 7" textured acrylic painting by Niki Gulley
On the fifth day of our Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop in Greece, we visited Akrotiri, the remains from a Minoan civilization preserved during the volcanic eruption from the 16th century BC. The ancient city was fascinating. The beach next door also made for a beautiful, relaxing painting location! I loved this church nestled into the cliffs, so typical on the Greek islands.

That afternoon, we headed to a Santorini winery and sampled the local wines. Yum!
Taking a little time out to enjoy the view and sample the Greek wines, which are quite tasty!
