The Greek island is worth the long haul, if you do it right. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Whitewashed cliffs, blue domes, and a sunset the whole island turns out for: Santorini is every bit as beautiful as the photos, and then some. It’s also a long<\/em> trip from Singapore, so a little planning goes a long way. Get the timing, the base and the budget right, and it’s one of the best holidays you’ll ever take. Here’s how to do exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Because nowhere else looks like it. Santorini is the rim of a drowned volcano, so the whole west side of the island is a curved cliff dropping into a flooded crater, and the towns are stacked right along the edge.
