A great summary of Santorini!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide met us on the top of the gondolas as planned. Went to another blue dome overlooking the caldera to take more private pictures, then had some shopping time in Oia as well as some great picture taking opportunities. Was not told that we would go to an older part of the island, see how villagers used to live in the caves, then had a late dinner at a seaside restaurant. We were not told to bring a bathing suit, but they don't care if you go skinny dipping in the Aegean Sea! Our guide, anglicized as Stephanie was wonderful. Be prepared for long lines at the down gondolas. We were worried our tour was cutting it close, but it was fine, as long as we were not driven directly to the gondolas. What a fabulous day and great summary of Santorini.
