Final Thoughts on a Dreamy Grecian Vacation

I feel like I could go on and on about Santorini.  It was just one of those trips that was perfect - perfectly beautiful, perfectly relaxing, perfectly everything.  The people were some of the friendliest we've ever encountered while traveling and the food quite literally, scrumptious.  From day one until day eight, I couldn't help but grab my camera, trying to capture every corner of the island.  I never tired of the views.

There is something so magical about Santorini.  A delicate fog enveloped the island even on the clearest of days.  As we watched the ships sail away from Santorini, it looked like they might just sail into an abyss.  I kept trying to put it into words when we were there but it just seemed impossible.  Today, it's still impossible and it feels positively dreamlike.  Perhaps that's exactly what it is - dreamlike.

I'll leave you with a random collection of photos that I just couldn't help but share.

Restaurant Recommendations:
+Ambrosia - If you're going to choose one night to splurge on a romantic dinner in Oia, this should be it.  Make reservations (it's small) and try to get one of the tables right on the edge for a more private dinner.
+Vanilia - Located between Fira & Imerovigli right along the walking path, this was a great little garden to stop for lunch in.  There's also seating on the roof for sunset dinners.
+Cafe Galini - Also located on the walk between Fira and Imerovigli, the terrace overlooking the caldera was stunning.  The sandwiches and salads were great for a light lunch.
+Imerovigli Tavern - A casual setting with amazing Greek food, we ate here twice and it was delicious both times.  The service was always good and the view is pretty nice too!
+Anogi - The food at Anogi was really, really good and the pricing was so reasonable!  Every night it was packed (definitely reserve a table unless you plan on eating early!)  It's not a restaurant with a view but the food makes up for it and it's a great place for a casual meal.
+Selene- This restaurant is located on the other side of the island at Pyrgos but it was certainly one of our better meals.  It's the perfect place to get away from the crowds on the popular caldera side of the island and the food is so wonderful that it's been recognized internationally.
+Kapari Wine Restaurant - Found in Imerovigli, not far from Absolute Bliss, this restaurant is a gem.  It's in one of the fancier hotels and it might be a bit of a splurge but the food and service was impeccable.
