Floraâs kindness and willness to share detailed Greek cooking tips were the very best part of Santorini. The pool was clean and enjoyable, and the view everywhere was exceptional.
However, sorry to say, I found Santorini a very greedy island. There are beautiful sunsets everywhere In Greece. I would have liked to see the white, red, and black beaches but transportation around the island is either difficult or cost prohibitive.
Walking off the ferry in Paros had an immediately different vibe of friendly, patient, honest people.
I suspect the flood of (possibly rude) tourists on the island must be a challenge. Below the intense drive to make big money, the Santorini people seem caring and generous. I hope those qualities can somehow be better expressed to tourists in the future.
