The first time I heard of the island of Santorini was a few years ago when a friend was describing his trip to Greece and was raving about the island. I remember seeing pictures of beautiful white washed houses perched high on cliffs overlooking the majestically blue Agean sea. Since then, we met a number of people, including my parents, who came back with equally glowing reviews. So when we were planning our trip to Greece with our friends Ali and Alizeh, adding Santorini to the itinerary was a no brainer. And after spending two and a half days there this September, we can safely say that Santorini is as exceptional a destination as advertised - quite a feat in itself!
