Highlights of Akrotiri in Santonini, Greece

Taking a little break from Costa Rica this week to bring you some extra content from my trip to Santorini!

On our last day in Greece, on the island of Santorini, Carolina and I decided to explore one last area. The Akrotiri peninsula includes a few nice highlights that are worth the bus ride down for part of the day.

We went to the red beach and to the Venetian Castle of Akrotiri. Both of these were free to visit. We had the option to also visit the Akrotiri Museum but we opted not to. Sometimes there are certain highlights that I choose to pass up on trips especially when they cost money. The fee and not feeling enthusiastic enough about the museum turned us away.

Otherwise we had a nice visit to Akrotiri before we departed for our next adventure in Sweden and Norway!

I Love Greek Food (Part 2): What I Ate in Santorini

For our last few days in Greece, our visit to Santorini forced us to take it up a notch in terms of food prices and dinner views. Our eating experience was different from our time in Crete mainly because it was so centered around getting the best seats for sunset.

I managed to find ways to balance out the price of our view-centered dinners. Alas, we could not have experienced the best of what Santorini had to offer without recommendations from our villa stay host. We ended up taking up several of his suggestions and they were all excellent.

The best part was the last night when I finally got to eat one, single vegetable that he insisted we must not miss: a Santorini cucumber.
