Welcome to Santorini Photo Safari πŸ“ΈπŸŒΏ My name is Erica Petersen, and I am a local guide and photographer based in Santorini, Greece. Through this blog and my guided experiences, I share a more authentic and personal side of the island — beyond the postcard views and busy tourist paths. Santorini is my home and my daily inspiration. Over the years, working with travelers from all over the world, I have learned how unique every journey is. This is why I create tailor-made tours designed to fit each guest’s needs, interests, and pace — ensuring a personal and satisfying experience. From relaxed photography walks to exploring hidden villages and volcanic landscapes, each experience is shaped to help guests connect with the real spirit of Santorini. Through Santorini Photo Safari, I combine local experience, photography passion, and guiding knowledge to create meaningful moments that feel natural, unhurried, and memorable. This blog is where I share stories and journeys from the island, always focused on authenticity, connection, and real experiences. Thank you for being here and joining me on this journey through Santorini πŸ’™
