Santorini Photo Tour

Pick-up any picture of Greece and it's likely Santorini will be staring back at you. And for good reason, too – its skyline of whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches practically beg to be an Instagram post. Fill up your social media feed with a tour of the island's most scenic spots.Saying Santorini is easy-on-the-eye is an understatement – she's drop-dead gorgeous. Camera at the ready, you'll swing by Pyrgos first, the former capital. Snap a few selfies with sugar-cube houses, neo-classical mansions and narrow lanes twisting up to a Venetian castle which offers up knockout views. Peer through the natural rock-window known as the Heart of Santorini and grab wow-factor shots of the dinky chapel here that sits on the Aegean Sea. Finally, it's on to Oia – the place you'll see on all the postcards. Perched on a clifftop, the village serves up amazing vistas over the volcanic caldera, making it the perfect spot for a photo finish to your day.
