Those who tuck their holidays into the final fling of summer, savouring the anticipation as their friends return bronzed and glowing, should turn their gaze towards Santorini. For now is a very good time to go.
Always beautiful, famed for delivering romance, Instagram-worthy sunsets and mineral rich wines, Santorini suffered a drop in visitor numbers earlier in the year. As much, it was reported, as a 24.4 per cent decrease between January and May. Some of this was down to earthquake fears, from small-scale tremors earlier in the year but some was due to its reputation for overtourism, which has deterred many travellers.
