The islands in Greece are connected by high speed ferries – and they are fast! Check out the horizon line in the second ferry.
The streets in Mykonos are very narrow. Motor bikes, tiny trucks, and modified vehicles weave through crowds continuously to keep the shops and restaurants in Mykonos stocked with supplies.
Here is a clip of the view from Santorini, and another common sight – donkeys!
Getting to and from the port of Santorini requires carefully navigating through roads cut alongside the cliffs.
