Plenty of tourists arrive in Santorini for a slice of the luxury lifestyle; the island is full of cave hotels with private hot tubs and views to die for. But others want a bit more activity on their holidays. And that is where hiking in Santorini comes in. The Cyclades' most famous island is actually… Continue reading Hiking in Santorini • The Best Hikes on the Island
The hodgepodge of whitewashed stone houses and blue-domed churches looks like it's been peeled straight off of a postcard. Moulded into, and out of the cliffside, balancing in layers above the vivid sea and connected by a web of smooth marble footpaths. If you're tempted to just take a few glamorous snaps in front of… Continue reading What to do in Oía • The crown of Santorini
Dazzling sunshine reflects off of whitewashed houses, donkeys clatter up and down winding alleyways, and the seemingly infinite indigo sea twinkles far below. Santorini's capital city may be teeny-weeny (and often completely tourist-swamped, as well as sun-drenched), but it's so very worth exploring, especially in springtime or early autumn. Here are the very best things… Continue reading Fabulous Fira • The Best Things to Do in Fira, Santorini
Ammoudi Beach is easy to miss, because it's tricky to reach. But whether you're a thrill-seeker in search of the best cliff jumping spot in Santorini, or are simply after a swim and a sun-tan (I fall into the latter group, soz folks), this unique little corner of the island is gorgeous and downright wonderful.… Continue reading Ammoudi Beach • The best cliff jumping spot in Santorini
Almost 300 steps pave the way downhill to a huddle of restaurants, tavernas and fishing boats, nestled around a crescent bay at the foot of the cliffs of Oía. An old Venetian castle perches high up on the red rocks, overlooking the zig-zagging pathway where donkeys lazily flick flies from their eyelashes in the heat.… Continue reading Amoudi Bay Santorini • In the Shadow of Oía
I wasn’t planning on walking from Fira to Imerovigli and on to Skaros Rock; it just sort of happened. Three kilometres may be quite a distance to accidentally walk the length of, but the hike from Fira to Imerovigli is so beautiful that it was a relatively easy walk to stumble into. Things got slightly… Continue reading Fira to Imerovigli and Skaros Rock • Hiking in Santorini
Akrotiri Beach Santorini; a place where you're technically not supposed to go, but plenty do anyway. I visited Santorini one August (potentially the worst time to visit the island, but I had an absolute blast anyway), and hiked from the red sand beach to the sleepy village of Akrotiri, which seems a million miles away… Continue reading Akrotiri Beach Santorini • Red sand and turquoise sea
We all know about Oía and Fira with their sugar-cube houses and cliffside perces, but did you ever hear of Pyrgos, Santorini? This beautiful village is hands down, my favourite place to stay in Santorini. Santorini, Greece. Island of whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and (these days), insta-photoshoots galore. Fira, the island's capital, and the little… Continue reading Pyrgos Santorini • Hidden gem of the Cyclades
Santorini sunsets are on the bucket list of travellers across the world; hundreds of thousands of people flock to the little island every year to gather on the volcanic cliffs and marvel as the sun goes to sleep.

Contrary to popular belief, it's more than possible to visit Santorini on a budget. And although my first visit to the island was for a mere three days- and all by myself- I still got a tonne out of my stay in this Cycladic paradise. Here's why you need to visit Santorini even if your… Continue reading How to Visit Santorini on a Budget
