Beautiful little island just under four hours from UK named the best in Europe If you have been searching for your next holiday destination then look no further, this small Greek island has been the best island destination in Europe - and the picturesque holiday hotspot is just under four hours from the UK.
July and August will see Santorini flooded with holidaymakers, so if you are looking for a little bit more peace and quiet from your next island getaway, try and visit outside of the high season, and you may also save yourself some money too, with prices often lower outside of the two peak months - per Lonely Planet.
Another reason to head to this idyllic destination out of the high season is simply because of the number of visitors it attracts - reports claim that in the peak months, trying to snap a picture of the sunset in the iconic village of Oia can come with massive queues as a vast number of tourists try to do the same.
Simply put, Santorini is utterly breathtaking, with a mostly submerged volcanic crater - called a caldera - along the west coast of the island providing unforgettable views from the cliffside towns above it.
White buildings with domed blue roofs are synonymous with this island, which takes luxury to another level - if you have the budget for it.
