Is Santorini the most beautiful of the Greek Islands after all? Does it give Mykonos a run for its money? Join us as we tour around 3 villages on a TUI excursion. We wouldn't have seen anywhere other than Thira (Fira) without the excursion, it really took away all the stress of the cable car queue in the morning, runing to find a service bus to take us from Thira to Oia to beat the crowds. We still experienced the cable car, but earlier in the day so no 2 hour queues as expected/feared.
Mykonos v Santorini? Very similar in the architecture, huge difference in sea & landscape. Mykonos is very easy to get to, unlike Santorini which can be more challenging and one of the challenges is deciding which way you'll approach it, unless you fly of course, they have an airport here! The people are equally friendly, costs appeared high in both but not stupid expensive, we bought lovely jewellery in Santorini, scarves in Mykonos and the wines & Icecream as you do.
I'll do a roundup of the cruise experience and our travels back to the UK. We went on to Oban, the Isle of Mull and the Isle of Iona before returning home. These videos will be coming up next. I hope you've enjoyed a wee taster of the Greek Islands from your sofa, thank you so much for joining us.
