The purpose of the internet would fail if I have to tell you where and what Santorini is. Everyone knows about Santorini and everyone wants that feeling this white and azure town gives. Ever since Lena from “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” climbed a hill in Greece on a mule, squealing with discomfort as every stone on those pavements gave her spine an ache, I gleed, enraptured by the crystal water and spotless walls. Ah! This village is where dreams happen! While the bougainvillea and the blue walls sound tempting, I propose to you this plan — a week-long plan that encompasses golden sunsets, fish dinners, endless pots of moussaka, dollops of tzatziki and good local wine, all made in your very own kitchen in an ideally located, large villa in Santorini. Read on… but save this later if you’re at work, you might be tempted to book your tickets right away!
