The Greek Escape with 3 nights in Santorini was a wonderful trip! The country has so much history and beautiful countryside places to see. Santorini was very fun and a place I would love to visit with a bit warmer weather next time. Going on this trip in Jan/Feb was great in terms of having everywhere we went pretty much to ourselves! There was very little tourist and no lines to visit popular places. The people were welcoming and friendly and the food is amazing!!! Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! She knows all the history and has so much passion for her country, history and stories!
