We took a ferry from Athens to Santorini. After boarding the ferry, we were directed to what looked like an auditorium. We slept on the floor. We looked like homeless vagrants-- but no regrets!
Right now we are in Santorini during the low season (right now-- all of Europe is in their "low season"). The plus side is that hostels and villas basically cut their prices in half. We are staying in a villa for 15 Euro each. A lot more of the restaurants are closed-- but there is enough open that you can still have your choice of where to eat. I highly recommend traveling during low season.
The weather is PERFECT. We have to put on a sweater after the sun sets-- but otherwise, it is IDEAL. The weather report occasionally flashes in the background when we are getting ready and the weather in mainland Europe looks abysmal. After leaving Greece we are basically going to cry bitter tears upon being thrust back into the cold.
TOMORROW WE ARE RENTING MOTORBIKES! THere are black and red sand beaches at the south of the island and Oia is at the north. Santorini has buses but the bus scheduel seems too erratic for our ambitious scheduel.
Also-- I think it would be awesome to ride a scooter for a day.
