Ireland looks small on a map. Tiny, even — the kind of country you figure you could circle in a long weekend. Then you actually get in a car and start driving, and somewhere around hour three on a road…
Santorini has a way of looking almost too perfect in photos, and then somehow looking even better once you are actually standing on the caldera edge watching the light shift over the water. Three days is enough time to experience…
