◦ We visited Santorini and, in our
very honest opinion, it will be better enjoyed and appreciated in the off-season. We visited in November and absolutely loved it. We visited the site of the world's first Olympic Games, when the games were held in honor of the King of the gods, Zeus, and in later stages, games and sports were added.
