Oia, Santorini. Scape from the crowd.

First days of May in Santorini. I went before peak season and honestly it was the perfect timing. Warm sun, cold water, almost no crowds in the mornings and that unreal contrast between the white buildngs and the deep blue sea everywhere you look.

Oía gets packed around sunset, but if you wake up early and just walk around the side streets you almost feel alone on the island. Some of these spots were literlly a few minutes away from the busy center and completely empty.

One thing that surprised me was how quiet Santorini can feel outside the main tourist hours. At night it slows down a lot and becomes way more relaxing than I expected.
