I find a lot of my hidden gems while traveling and living in London from The Londoner blog. If you haven't checked her out, Rosie's posts are informative, fun, chic, and always gives you a bit of wanderlust. Lucky for me, she had just traveled to Santorini right before our trip there, and she had great recommendations regarding what to see and do, particularly in Oia. Thanks to Rosie's blog, we found this delicious gelato place! And we had devoured everything before I had the chance to snap you a pic ;)! Oia is a charming village {and by charming, I mean, straight out of a postcard} in Santorini, consisting mainly of teeny, tiny boutiques, hotels, and restaurants {and just the cutest pups hanging out!}. For real, does it get any better than this? Oia is everything I had hoped it would be: the clean, white facades, the bright blue accents, and of course, the vibrant bougainvillea flowers that decorate the buildings. And although Oia is impressive, it's so crowded {I'm talking' body-to-body packed}, it can be difficult to maneuver and find a secluded spot to watch the sun setting. People on people on people. Side note: Do you ever wonder how many pictures you are featured in as a random backgrounder? When Rosie recommended "Sunsets" restaurant, and we happened to stumble upon it, we immediately asked for a seat. And I'm glad we did, because we had some great views of the highly sought after Oia sunset. If you find yourself in Santorini, at this exact restaurant, watching this perfect sunset, order the moussaka {not pictured} oh, and a glass {or bottle!} of the rosé ;). You will not be disappointed! And with that, sadly, the sun finally sets on our Greek adventure {insert weeping emoji}.
