Greek Islands Guide: Things to Do in Santorini
Of all the Greek Islands — and there are thousands of them — Santorini is probably the one most people have heard of. And also probably the one that most people dream of visiting. Santorini is where you will find the red cliffs, black beaches, white windmills, and blue domes that adorn so many postcards. Yes, this is Greece's “postcard island.” Because Santorini is such a popular destination (including with cruise ships), however, I was a bit apprehensive about visiting. I wanted so badly to see all those windmills and churches and beaches — but I didn't relish in the thought of competing with hordes of other tourists in order to do so. Thankfully, Santorini did not disappoint . It is just as stunningly beautiful as the photos and postcards lead you to believe — and you can easily avoid the cruise ship crowds if you time things right. And, bonus: Santorini isn't *just* about blue domes and sunsets. There are lots of cool things to do in Santorin...
