The best way to explore Santorini and Mykonos would be to scoot around on a motorbike or an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). Rental rates cost less than 30 Euros for 24 hours.
It is relatively safe to drive on the roads since most motorists drive pretty slowly on the island. It was not our first time on an ATV, but it was our first time on an ATV riding on a road with traffic. After this experience, i can truly understand why many would want to be on motorbikes despite the dangers. The wind in your hair and the direct connection of being in the outdoors offers one a taste of freedom. The feeling on a bike/ATV is completely different from exploring the island through a window in a car seat.

One of the most beautiful sunrises I've seen! Took my breath away! This is in Santorini and it was my birthday. <3
The other parts of Santorini we explored on our ATV…
Like a dream…
Downslope off the roads to some unknown tracks..... weeeee.....
the fun part is not knowing where you will end up at....
Ended up here....
and here...
and sometimes going the "wrong" way leads you to unexpectedly beautiful views...
Green and blue hues are perfect together...
The breathtaking coast...
and the freedom of stopping over for lunch and a little sight-seeing at Pyrgos....
I liked Pyrgos as it was less touristy and had no crowds like Fira or Oia and it was serene just exploring the little streets that led up to the cathedral.
