It's been my dream and bucket list to visit Santorini thus I make this happen this year as my 42th Birthday gift for myself.
I didn't have time to plan itinerary, we only booked flight and hotel 3 months before and decided to do what come may there.
Initially we only planned to go to Santorini, Mykonos and Athens but feared that we may get bored after few days since nothing much to see except relaxing, we decided to add Istanbul and Cappadocia as second destinations.
We never regret it and it's one of our best couple trips so far.
We departed early Friday morning by Scoot bound to Athens and took around 11 hours. After arriving at Athens during sunrise, we had 2 hours waiting time to our next flight to Santorini by Aegean Airlines.
We had breakfast at Traditional Greek Bagel at airport.
We arrived at Santorini around noon and was picked up by private taxi to our hotel. Since the road there is cobble stoned, the hotel porter helped carrying our luggages. Thanks God we travelled light.
The first hotel that we booked was located at Fira and facing caldera view. When first we arrived, we were so amazed and excited with our cave room.
While waiting for the hotel to prepare the birthday surprise, we had lunch at Pelican Kipos recommended by the hotel staff.
The food was good, we ordered grilled chicken and pasta with beer and smoothies.
After checking in and changing clothes, we went to Imerogvli, the instagrammable village by foot and took around 1 hour haha since we stopped quite a lot to take video and pictures.
Then, we want to catch sunset at our private jacuzzi so we walked back around 5.30pm and took around 30 minutes.
Quickly change to swimsuit, we soaked ourselves at private outdoor jacuzzi watching sunset and sipping the glass of wine complimentary from the hotel.
Then, we had nice traditional greek dinner at Verandah restaurant. We ordered moussaka (eggplant lasagna) and beef stewed and greek salad.
We slept well out of tiredness and excitement.
