This week on the Friday Five, we’re in Santorini, Greece.
After a wonderful visit, I’ve got 5 suggestions to help you make sure you have the perfect day when you visit the island.
If you do in make it to Santorini, send me a photo of your adventure. Have fun!
It is beautiful. Definite idea for next summer’s travels. I’m always game if there is a promise of a beautiful sunset and the colour of the water is amazing!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER!! MADE ME REMEMBER ALL OF MY FAV MOMENTS IN THAT CITY! SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!!!!
THANKS FOR THE SPECIAL SURPRISE 🙂

Your friend Jaqueline (sp?) is a very smart woman! Santorini IS one of the most beautiful places in the world. Have a wonderful time.
Congrats on encouraging people to avoid paying the fare for the donkey taxis up the stairs. So many travellers make the mistake of doing it because “it’s the thing to do.” But it really isn’t anymore.
There are many reported cases of severe neglect of these animals. And even cruisecritic.com (because so many cruise ships port there) recommends giving money to a charity which will provide care to these mistreated animals.
Good job, BackPackWithBrock!
ps: I was one of those travellers back a few years that “did it because it was the thing to do” and I regret it to this day.
I’d also recommend taking a sailboat cruise out to the volcano and hot springs, it’s amazing! I went on a 2 hour tour (it cost 20 euros), with an hour long stop to wander around on the volcano- even though there are usually lots of other people checking it out at the same time, it’s big enough that you can take wander off on your own, away from the crowd.
Awww, I adore you! What an AWESOME place. Can’t wait to visit Greece 1 day.
@Teresa – Add on the white wash buildings and the great food. It’s well, perfect.
@Jaclyn – Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the recommendation. It was a great part of my trip.
@Tandem World – Yes, yes she is. Santorini was stunning and I enjoyed every second.
@Darren – Ya, didn’t have the heart to ride the donkeys. But I gave them TONS of love and affection.
@Anne – Ya, sadly I didn’t have time for a sailboat cruise nor to visit the volcano. Next time I guess? Thanks for leaving the tip!
@Andi – And you will. And you will love it. Make sure to do some Island hopping.
