Santorini, Greece is a hot vacation spot in Europe<\/a> right now and has been for the last several years. Cruise ships pour into Santorini to give vacationers a taste of what this little island in Greece has to offer. We happened to be in Santorini in the month of July, however I highly recommend to avoid the popular summer months and instead visit in the shoulder seasons of Spring and Fall. Anytime before June and after August will yield far less vacationers and give you more time to explore this popular island in Greece. It\u2019s also less expensive and you can likely snag a cave hotel on the side of Oia with a private pool. What\u2019s more, its less hot as well. If you have at least three days in Greece, check out what we did with our three days in Santorini, Greece. <\/p>\n

Catamaran Tour<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This was probably one of our most favorite days. We got out on the water to see the island of Santorini from a different perspective. We saw some of the bluest water and gorgeous cliffsides speckled with blue and white buildings. We chose one that booked less tourists so that we could enjoy walking around a bit more and have the freedom to relax. I\u2019m not a fan of extremely crowded locations or tours and that\u2019s why I mostly avoid them, if and when I can. This may be why it was one of my favorite days, because we avoided the crowded streets of Santorini. <\/p>\n

Visit Wineries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Little did we know, there are wineries on the island of Santorini. We hadn\u2019t initially planned to look for wineries but after tasting some delicious wine at a few restaurants, we were encouraged by the restaurant owners to visit the wineries. Surprisingly enough, the wineries weren\u2019t extremely busy so we were able to talk with the owners and learn so much more about the varieties. The region doesn\u2019t get very much rain but that\u2019s what makes this wine so different from all the ones I\u2019ve tasted before. <\/p>\n

Visit local Beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The different beaches in Santorini were some
\nof the most diverse but interesting that I\u2019ve visited and there are plenty of
\nbeach \u201cbars\u201d scattered so that you can get a lounge and umbrella too. We saw a
\nblack sand beach and also a red sand beach. I had no idea! We stumbled upon
\nthem by randomly deciding to rent a car and drive around the island. This was
\nall because Oia was far too crowded from about 11 am till 3 pm. Sometimes the
\nbest memories are from those that happen at the last minute and this is one of
\nthem. It didn\u2019t hurt that we rented a red convertible so with the top back and
\nthe music blaring, we created our own memories. <\/p>\n

\n

Driving in Greece<\/h4>\n

It is NO joke. You definitely need to be alert and comfortable with busy, small town roads. <\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Witness the Sunset in Oia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I know I mentioned how crowded Oia can be in the summer and this is mostly because how popular the sunsets are from Oia. Greece truly has some of the best sunsets I\u2019ve ever seen so people aren\u2019t exaggerating. You\u2019ll need to see it at least once. If you aren\u2019t staying on the cliffside of Oia, then be sure to get to a restaurant or spot an hour or so before sunset at the very least. Everyone wants to see the sunsets so make sure you\u2019re early to situate yourself. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

See the iconic Blue and White buildings in Oia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No visit to Santorini is complete without
\nseeing the blue and white painted buildings scattered around the island of
\nSantorini. However, make sure you go to Oia to see the blue roofed buildings
\nand take pictures. We felt like we had stars in our eyes when we first laid
\neyes on them. It\u2019s a defininte do not miss. <\/p>\n

Over three days in Santorini, this list of
\nthings to do in Santorini will definitely keep you busy. It goes without saying
\nthat Santorini is an island you should relax and take in the scenery. It\u2019s truly
\nmesmerizing so you won\u2019t want to forget your camera. If you find other things
\nto do while you\u2019re on your next vacation in Santorini, Greece please let us
\nknow below. <\/p>\n

Till next time guys!<\/p>\n
