These are Greek vampires called Vrykulakas. It's basically Santorini was thought to be the place where they came from. To send vampires to Santorini is like to send coals to Newcastle or to send owls to Athens or Sambavars to Tula or, you know, like sending something to somewhere where they already have a lot of it. We're not really sure why, but it could be due to this soil that we were talking about.

  3. This one I hadn't been on before. I try to go on every cable car I see. What I think might be one of, might be even better than the cable car is there is an Atlantis museum in Santorini. Hmm. I think it might be the only Atlantis museum in the world, actually.
