Where is a reasonably cheap place to go in Europe that has a beach and plenty of history?
Santorini, the Greek island, still has many reasonably priced rooms in private homes as well as inexpensive hotels. Stay in Fira, the capital town, or Oia, for beautiful views, fun nightlife, and easy access to the beaches via the island’s extensive bus network. Explore the ancient ruins, including Akritiri, and enjoy the great black-sand beaches. Go up the coast, away from the busy resort towns of Perissa or Kalmari, to escape the tourists.
