Barolo is seriously one of my favorite dinner spots in Santorini. Itās a little fancy but still feels super relaxed, and the vibes are immaculateāespecially at sunset.

Le Moustache is sooo underrated. Itās giving cozy, chill vibes with a crazy caldera view that makes you feel like youāre in a postcard. Itās not overly hyped or touristy, which I love ā it just feels real and relaxed.
The food? Shockingly good. Like...

The Family Bakery is one of those places that doesnāt look like much, but trust me⦠it delivers. Everything is baked fresh and itās so cheap, it actually feels illegal??

A lot of people come to Santorini and have no idea about the islandās rich Minoan historyāwhich is honestly wild. I highly recommend visiting the Akrotiri Museum. Itās one of the most fascinating places on the island.

The Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum is honestly one of the coolest experiences on the islandāespecially if youāre into wine or Greek history (or both). I actually went for the first time on a school trip in 3rd grade, and itās stuck with me ever since...

I really like this hike around the island! Just make sure youāre up super early to avoid the summer heat!! Get loads of water, sunscreen, hat and toilet paper with you as you will be hiking alone for some kilometers and the heat is no joke! Have fun!
