Creator's Key Takeaways

Santorini is a real must on an itinerary the area of Santorini is really created by Massive volcanic activity so it's now a big Caldera and you have big 300 met High Cliffs and the towns perched on top of the cliffs

Mykonos it was very trendy and very hip in the '70s and 80s after a period of decline it's really back in Vogue

The best times to go are actually in June and September or into early October it's before and after the real Madness of the season but everything's open the weather's still great
