4 Days on the Quintessential Greek Island of Santorini, Santorini, Greece
Santorini with it's whitewashed buildings and blue-domed roofs, is regarded by many, as the quintessential Greek Island.
There鈥檚 no getting around it, Santorini would have to be one of the most expensive Greek Islands to holiday on. Having said that though, if it is your first time to the Greek Islands, Santorini is a place that you just have to see. Located in the Cyclades group of Islands, it is the place you picture in your mind when you think of the Greek Islands.
Santorini has an airport so of course an option is to fly there. Both times we stayed in Santorini we flew聽Aegean Air聽from Athens. If traveling between islands, it is important to note that most flights go via Athens, so flying directly from one island to another is quite difficult. The ferry is a more direct transport option, although depending on travel distance, can be time consuming. This is the reason a lot of people choose to island hop within the one cluster of Greek Islands.
