Our idea of going to Santorini was, of course, because I really wanted to go there since forever, also to have some relaxing days to rest a bit from our busy holidays in Europe. We got 4 days there, but in case you just want to check the main spots on the island, I would say 2-3 days are enough.
Something that I feel I must say is that I was a bit disappointed. Look, the place is beautiful indeed, but the photo perfect areas with those cave houses are super touristic. When I travel I like to see how the locals live, and there I had the impression I was in a theme park. All those houses are rentals, shops, restaurants, or hotel for tourists.
The locals live on the further areas of the island in very normal houses. I saw just one or two suburbs with that architecture you imagine when you think about Santorini. Putting it aside, the place gives you a lot of options to just chill and refresh yourself under the burning sun of Greece.
Anyways, I had 4 amazing days there, which I’ll be happily sharing with you now.
If you want to get straight to the point, here you can get my Google Maps with all the main attractions conveniently marked for you.
