Santorini: A Crash Course in Showing Off on Social Media

**Transportation**: 5 hours by boat from Athens (seasickness medication recommended), or 15 minutes by helicopter for the wealthy (practice your graceful disembarking pose in advance). **Instagrammable Spots**: - Blue-domed Churches: Prepare to navigate a maze of alleys. Channel your inner Katniss Everdeen to find the perfect angle. - Oia Sunset: Witness the global phenomenon of "phones held high." The applause after sunset rivals an opera's finale. - Red Beach: Cue the "The Martian" soundtrack. A white dress enhances photos (but be prepared for a "Mei Chaofeng" moment courtesy of the wind). **Tips to Avoid Tourist Traps**: ① Ditch the flip-flops when riding donkeys downhill. Donkey droppings offer an unwanted "volcanic mud spa" for your feet. ② Cliffside hotel pools are picturesque, but the price might tempt you to sell a kidney. ③ Skip the "Santorini specialty" tomatoes. They're just regular tomatoes that got a tan. **Food Fails**: Moussaka (Greek lasagna), Ouzo (anise-flavored mouthwash). **In Short**: Santorini resembles God's overturned blue-and-white paint palette. Pack 10+ resort outfits and 1TB of phone storage!
