Santorini, known as Thira by the Greeks, had a very small airport. Our shuttle dropped us a few blocks from our hotel. The main shopping streets are too small for cars. The desk clerk, Jeremy, suggested a good place for lunch. Jeremy lives in Athens in the off season. You can see from the photos the views are "postcard" breathtaking.
Just off the shuttle bus in Fira on the isle of Santorini or Thira the Greek name.
