It’s our second day in Santorini! That morning I woke up with DH gone from the room. I figured he went out for a walk, and sure enough he came back not long after. It turned out that he got up really early and took hundreds of steps down to the old port, and hundreds of steps up back to the hotel. This is the port that people actually take cable cars down and up. So thumbs up for that! We then went up to the terrace/balcony to have breakfast. It was included in the hotel price, and it was a lovely spread. We had omelette, fresh fruits and veggies, Greek yogurt, and a little pastry called Tiropita. It’s similar to the more commonly known Spanakopita, but instead of spinach it’s plain cheese inside. Yum!
Santorini! Is it touristy? Yes! Is it expensive? Yes! Is it worth visiting? Definitely yes! To be honest, when I was planning this trip to Greece, I wasn’t too excited about Santorini. I had heard that it was very touristy, very expensive, and overhyped. Even so, since it was our first time in Greece, we decided to go and see it so we can at least say we’ve been there. It turned out that even though it was touristy and expensive, we had a great time and we loved it! Before I tell you more about what we did, here’s a more detailed itinerary on Santorini.
