Santorini: an itinerary
Greece and very specifically Santorini have been on my list for ages. So when I had a week break between two work trips in Europe, stopping over in Europe was a no-brainer. Here is my itinerary for Santorini! You can find my itinerary for Athens here.
*Note: Things I researched but didn’t end up doing are denoted with a `` (asterisk)* Hikes linked below are pitched at an easy level*
Accommodation
I stayed at the Nous Santorini, they were kind enough to upgrade me to a suite with a pool and it made the entire experience a 100 times more magical. I never wanted to leave the hotel suite! It even had an outdoor shower!
I got to Santorini by boat via Aegean Sea Ferries. I also rented a car to get around. I definitely dented my car so I am in two minds about whether it was a good idea or not!
Activities
Aegean Sea ferry to commute between islands.
Perissa Beach
Akrotiti Archaelogical site
Red beach
Ammoudi Bay
Open air cinema Kamari
Oia
Blue Dome Church
Oia steps
Oia Castle

Didn’t do
Kofini Santorini Fruit & Vegetable Market
Estate Argyros
Sunset at Oia castle
I did see this location, however I left before sunset due to the heat and crowds. I would definitely go to see Oia before 10 am as you can take the key pictures before the crowds!
