Island Santorini, Greece, was something very different: day-time temperature was +29oC all the week, in Finland below +10oC...
Travelling to Greece in October makes sense. Weather is still warm, streets not so over-filled by tourists and prices lower than during summer months ("low season" is just beginning, they say).
I had the honour to meet local, professional artist CHRISTOFOROS ASIMIS who has studied at the Fine Art School of Athens University and lived on Santorini since 1974. I really loved the blue shades of his paintings, presenting the views of local capital city FIRA and the famous small city IO, both situated on the top of the mountains. Mr. Asimis has also painted some fresco inside the big cathedral beneath.
My drawing above shows the view from FIRA towards IO on a sunny (like always) morning. I made it very fast because we were only sitting there to have glasses of local white wine. Tool: calligraphy felt-tip pen, 2 mm.
I can really recommend you to visit Santorini, Greece!
