These are movies from Santorini, which is a Greek
island in the Agean. Basically the whole island is
a volcano which was blown apart by a huge eruption
around 1500 BC. Some of the cites are built on the caldera
rim, so there can be a thousand foot drop right off your
veranda.
You will need Quicktime to view these movies. If you

Movie #1 (2.6 megs)
This is a 360 degree view from my veranda. I stayed in Imerovigli, the
highest part of the caldera rim next to Fira (the capital).
It shows a good view of the inside of the caldera. My place
is the whitewashed building you see from the 17
to 27 second mark of the movie. My room is the blue door you
see at the 17 second mark.
Movie #2 (9.4 megs)
This is a view from a high point in Oia where you can watch the sunset.
Santorini is famous for its sunsets, and you can see
hundreds of people gathered in Oia to view them.
The first 30 seconds of the movie show the city of Oia. From the 40 to
50 second mark you see Imerivogli. At the 46 second mark
you can see my place at the left hand side of the white
clump of buildings. From the 53 to 59 second mark you can
see Fira.
Movie #3 (2 megs)
The sunset from my place. This movie starts off with a
zoom-in of Oia.
