Snow on Santorini – When Paradise froze over
“Will you go out with him?”
“When Hell freezes over!!”
“When do you think we will get a raise?”
“When Hell freezes over..”
Well I don’t know about Hell but, friends, it is official! Paradise just froze over!
Winter came to our magic sunshine island and pure white snow covered the volcanic black rocks of Santorini.

The frost wave by the name “Ariadne” has arrived in Greece and for the first time after many years we experience actual cold and winter weather.

As much as it may feel unnatural to have snow on places where there is live volcanic action, it sure doesn’t look like it at all and Santorini looks as she was meant to be dressed in white!
All these soft white curves and the unique architecture of the island seem to blend excellent with this natural decoration, giving us some moments to remember.

So, wear your warm clothes (hope you brought some), grab your camera and go capture this magical views while they last!
