Santorini — Blog | A Happy Passport

After a whirlwind 8-day trek through Italy by train, we were ready to slow down for the second part of our honeymoon – a 10-day cruise through the Greek Isles. While the pace might have been a bit slower, it was still filled with exciting adventures and amazing memories. Whitewashed houses, cobblestone streets, deep blue waters, and the rich history of Greece are just some of the reasons why Greece is time and time again on the top list for Honeymoon destinations. When picking a route through the mediterrean, our priorites were Santorini and Turkey. Shortly after booking, Turkey got replaced by Rhodes, due to political unrest and safety concerns. We were still beyond excited! Beautiful beaches, ancient ruins, and watching sunsets from the balcony were calling our names.

Caldera and Cable Cars: The Perfect Day in Santorini, Greece

It is hard to put into words how beautiful the cliff-perched towns and stunning sea views are. Santorini is a caldera or large crater formed by a volcano. The crater is mostly submerged and what remains is the 5 islands that make up the Santorini group. The main island of Thera is where you will likely spend all of your time. To start off with, one day in Santorini is certainly not enough. We arrived by cruise ship and were severely limited with what we could explore on the island in that time.
