I have a controversial point of view to present to you about Santorini. I think Santorini is overrated. There, I said it. Yes, I think Santorini is beautiful. The landscape is very striking and there are some great views to be had. However, when I visited last year I found it quite a confronting experience and it definitely gave me pause for thought during our trip. Let me give you some context.

As a coeliac, I’m always googling destinations to see what gluten free foods, restaurants or dishes might be available for me to eat once I’m there. I can then plan my visit accordingly, and avoid getting hangry and/or eating endless fruit salads.

We decided we’d rather stay in Oia,…

Our first two days in Santorini have been pretty overcast and it’s even rained, nonetheless I’ve taken to the streets of Oia with my camera and I’m here to take you along with me. It’s a bit windy, too… I hear the weather is going to cheer up for our last two days here, so hopefully I’ll have some more cheerful shots to share with you on my return.
