    I saw some of your Santorini pics on your instagram and you redirected me to check out your blog posts; I’m also going to Athens & Santorini in April and so I’m super stoked and have been reading all things Greece! I like these suggestions, I’ll definitely check them out when I get the chance :] Thanks for the advice!

      Thanks so much for checking out the post Vivian. We definitely recommend eating any kind of gyros and always asking for fries inside. They are about 1.50 euro, are so filling, and are delicious. Safe travels xx
