Santorini is one of the world's most dramatic islands: a flooded caldera with cliffs thrusting up a thousand feet above sea level. Perched along the ridgeline are perfectly placed whitewashed villages, punctuated with azure domes, that make this one of Greece's most scenic spots.

English pubs offer hearty meals, real ales, and a chance to meet locals. "Pub" is short for "public house." Everyone is welcome. Take a seat at the bar and ask about the local brew or the local topic brewing. A pub is the next best thing to having friends in town. 📷 Addie Mannan
