Excellent pix ! When I see the boat, I remember a movie about the determination of an old Cuban fisherman who set out to the open sea in a boat that size - to catch a marlin.
Gracious God, he eventually catch one, a big one which is longer than the boat itself; tied it up by the side and head for home to prove to the villagers that he got one....
But fate twists the other way round; nothing was left to show, when the marlin was all eaten up by accompanying sharks.....
Starring Anthony Quinn.(The Old Man and The Sea) 1995.
Hello, Lukas. Since I decided to go to Santorini after viewing your photos, and since I have been enchanted from the island, I'd like to dedicate this photo to you. Thanks a lot!
kd.I thanks for the message. You think it's in Firostefani? I am not so sure now. It's been a couple of years since I took this shot. Firostefani is just north of Fira. I didn't go through that area very often ... I really don't know.
Lukas, look at this... it's just taken from another angle. You can see the skaros rock in the back and Oia in the far distance.

Your version, of course, is WAY better though! ;-)
The boat is old and crippled sure but it would be pity if it is left to die there. I have seen craftsmen who can restore old boats like this to such perfection beyond belief. Let us hope the enlightened owner would have it restored and sail again. Thanks for the photograph Lukas Novak.
I went there a few weeks ago (Santorini- Oia) , that boat is no longer there. You were bless to have this moment capture.
Not in my time...congratulations!!!
Thank you Anglel. Are you sure? That would be a pity. However, as Pekin mentioned above, maybe the owner decided to restore it and make it seaworthy again! Lets hope so ...
wow.nice shot!!!i have been there in 1992.an australian travel magazine wrote:the most beatyfull panoramas(views)tha must to see before to die...#1 santorini island and the view from fira .greetings from greece
You can understand the meaning of Greek islands. They are beautiful and relaxing !! Greek islands are the most picturesque islands all over the world .Bravo nice picture!!
Luka, La tua foto e bellissima, sono estata in questo posto Santorino certo? Foi um dos lugares mais belos que vi em toda Grecia. Aquele azul turqueza e inconfundivel e este old boat and white from the house gives a very nice contrast.
Congratulations! Margarita
