The little island of Santorini in Greece is famous for its photogenic old blue-and-white buildings, beautiful high end hotels with infinity pools, and sweeping views of the ocean.

Santorini is almost synonymous with luxury nowadays, but it’s also possible to travel the island on a budget, and many of the best things to do in Santorini are free, such as strolling the historic towns, taking pictures, relaxing on the beach, and seeing the sunset.

A trip to the Greek islands wouldn’t be complete without seeing Santorini for at least a few days, and it’s easier than ever to get there from Athens and other major cities in Europe.
