Day Trips From Santorini is written by Dave Briggs, a British travel writer who has been living in Greece since 2015.

Before settling in Greece, I spent the best part of 25 years moving around -- backpacking through South America, sailing across the Mediterranean, cycling from Alaska to Argentina and then from England to South Africa, and visiting roughly 100 countries along the way. Santorini, with its dramatic caldera views and world-class wines, is one of the destinations I return to most often.

This site exists because most "day trips from Santorini" content is written by people who visited once and googled the rest. Every guide here is based on personal experience -- the boat trips, the hikes, the wineries, the hidden beaches. Where something is overrated, the guide says so. Where an organised tour is worth the money, it says that too.

I also run Greek Ferry Travel, a dedicated resource for Greek island hopping and ferry routes, and have co-authored guidebooks on the Greek islands. You can find more of my work at Dave's Travel Pages, where I've been writing about travel since 2005.
