I was in Santorini about 11 years ago, and I don’t think it had reached its peak of 8-10K tourists a day. You could still wander the streets in the day, not be terribly crowded, and still spot locals hanging out. I did find a place to perch and watch the sunset in Oia, which was spectacular, but I did not see the dawn. I’ll have to do that if I ever return. I lost my photos from that trip, but seeing yours brought the feeling back instantly, thanks for posting 🙂 I miss this gorgeous storybook place.
Can’t wait to see this all for myself!
You will love it! Just make sure you get out to some other islands, too (there are TONS to choose from).
