This is the church whose blue dome and white bell tower dominates that well know Santorini photo. As soon as I landed and took the Teleferik (cable car) up to the town of Fira that stretches out along the spine of Santorini I showed people the picture and asked where I should go to take one of my own. When I got there I found that they had painted the church, the blue dome was now white and the white bell tower was now red. To make matters worse I would have to climb up the other, taller bell tower to take the famous picture and it was closed to the public.
