To me, Santorini come across as the most romantic among the Greek islands. We stayed at an apartment at Oia, a village known for the awesome sunset views. From our room, each day we enjoyed the sun and the sea.
Oia is situated on an imposing cliff and several buses connect it to the capital. Walking around gives you the chance to admire the traditional architecture of the houses, and gorge on plenty of local snacks at the cafeterias and bars. Amazing enough, we recognized the villa of the movie Summer Lovers. Today it is a gift shop and a sign on the door says that this was the house of the film. Wonderful!!!
If you like museums, you will visit plenty in
Santorini. The maritime museum in Oia and the archaeological museum in Fira were very interesting. Sadly Akrotiri was closed! It was supposed to open last summer, but obviously restoration works will need more time. Typical with Greece, right?
The beaches were not my favourite. After all, I swam only once because in early June the water was cold. Still I found annoying the large pebbles on the coast, but come on, you don’t go to Santorini for the beaches. You go for the romance. Greece has many other islands to swim, but only one Santorini!!!
