Last day in Santorini

I have enjoyed the people I met here, mostly from France and one from Kenya. They have been the highlight of Santorini. I haven't been captured by the 'magic' of the island that is talked about on every webpage and guide book. I am not sure I would return here over other islands I have been to, I was certainly more impressed with the lay of the land in Palma Mallorca.

Most of the time it feels like a shopping mall, with many ameican brands in small overpriced stores. 'Greek food' options consist solely of Souvlaki, greek salad, and one or two other items. Most of the menu's are international unfortunately.

I am looking forward to Istanbul though, it should be fascinating and less european (at least I won't be paying in euro's for things!). It will be interesting to cross to the asian side and see if there are noticeable differences.
