We arrived in Santorini mid-day, grabbed our ride to the hotel, and settled in. And the view from our hotel was wonderful, but we wanted to get out and see more of this famous little island, so we set out to walk the 20 minutes to Fira for lunch and for some classic Santorini views. We set out along the main road (which has no sidewalks by the way) and wandered in the general direction of Fira. Finally we came across a pathway from the road into the town and wandered along stone pathways with views out over the ocean. Eventually we came across a little cafe situated with a view overlooking the water and ducked in for some Greek food, all while looking out over the white washed buildings and enjoying the scenic views.
After lunch we sauntered down the sidewalk along the Caldera, stopping for photos and to browse little shops. Finally, we made our way back up to the main road, jumped in a cab and headed back to our hotel for our first Santorini sunset.

These landscape views are killing me…so gorgeous! Ugh, your entire trip in Greece has me lusting to visit the islands. I’ve been to Thessaloniki…which seems nothing like the islands of Greece!
Casey says
The landscapes are truly gorgeous here and that is so worth seeing – though to be honest, I wouldn’t go back. It’s one of those places I feel like is worth seeing with your own eyes, but there wasn’t much else I’d rush back to.

I love these pictures. The blue of the sky against the grey stone and white buildings…perfection.
Casey says
The blue and white is truly otherworldly there!

Santorini has to be an unique and magical place.
I loved these pictures because you showed more than just the typical view of santorini (the white houses and the sea in the background).
What did you think of the food while your stay?
Casey says
It really is so unique. The food was good but overpriced!
