Our 2019 Trip to Greece Part I (Santorini)

Happy New Year to all of you!  This January weather is making me wish for warmer days in warmer places.  I can’t wait to satisfy my wanderlust and travel again to those warmer places once the pandemic craziness is over!

In light of my dreams to travel, this blog post is dedicated to our 2019 trip to Greece.  Santorini, Athens, and Kalambaka were the highlights of the trip.  In today’s post, I will hone in on our time in Santorini; the island of white-washed towns, mesmerizing sunsets, amazing seafood, and ocean-side hiking.

Enjoy!

The classic blue-domed churches in Oia, Santorini. These domes are hard to find; you have to go down a random alley without any signage.
