santorini’s blue domes: not as dreamy as i hoped

We finally made it to Santorini after years of seeing those famous blue domes in travel magazines. I was so excited, thinking I’d wake up, open the window, and see that postcard-perfect view every morning. Well, the Airbnb we booked promised a "private view" of the domes, but here’s the twist: the whole area is actually blocked off to the public. Only guests can sneak out and sit under the domes, but it feels a bit sneaky, almost like I’m breaking the rules just to get a photo. I get why they want to keep the crowds away, but isn’t it a bit much to advertise the view and then make it so exclusive? Has anyone else felt weird about these "private" spots that are hyped up online but turn out to be off-limits or restricted? I can’t decide if I’m lucky or just part of the problem. It’s beautiful, but it’s not the open, welcoming experience I imagined. Anyone else run into this kind of thing when traveling? #Santorini #TravelTruths #AirbnbExperiences #Travel
