What is it: Santorini
is a Greek island. It's special for a number of reasons; it was once a
volcano that erupted and collapsed in on itself, so it forms an unusual
crescent shape today; there is a theory that Santorini is Atlantis; if
you want picture-postcard Greece with blue roofs and white buildings,
then Santorini is the place to come.
What's it like: It's stunningly beautiful.
Where: Santorini, Greece
When: September 2008
How: We stayed in Perissa for a week, having booked with a tour operator. We stopped using tour operators the year after and started booking our own flights and hotels.
Worth noting: It's not a huge island and there's a bus that goes between the main towns, so definitely go to Oia and Fira.
