About Santorini
Santorini is the most photographed destination in the Mediterranean, and for good reason. But the experience varies dramatically based on where you stay. Oia has the famous sunsets but is extremely crowded. Imerovigli is the highest point on the caldera — same views, half the crowds. Fira is the most affordable with the best nightlife.
Jay's Insider Tip
Book a cave hotel with a private plunge pool and caldera view. That is the Santorini experience. Do NOT book the cheapest room without a view — you will spend the entire trip wishing you had the view. Splurge on the room, eat cheap at local tavernas. That is the formula.
