Look beyond the sunset photograph. Santorini combines cliffside villages with volcanic landscapes and a long island history. Make time for the quieter streets between the viewpoints. Compare your base with the KTEL bus routes, many of which connect through Fira. Check both outbound and return services for your dates. Cliffside streets can involve steps.
Amalfi gives its name to one of Italy’s best-known coastlines. Behind the waterfront, the town’s lanes lead towards Piazza Duomo and the Cathedral of St Andrew. Start there, then follow your curiosity. Compare ferry services and buses with your accommodation and dates. Services can be seasonal. Check the last return journey and keep an alternative for weather disruption.
