Oia sunset (arrive 2 hours early). Santorini's three blue domes. Mykonos windmills. Acropolis at sunrise.

Greek Island Life

Laid-back pace. Late dinners (9 pm+). Afternoon siesta sacred. Friendly locals. 'Siga siga' (slowly, slowly) mentality.

Greek Cuisine

Greek salad, moussaka, souvlaki, fresh seafood, feta everywhere. Ouzo with meze. Farm-to-table freshness.

Budget Tips
