It’s currently 14 degrees and raining in Sydney, 12 and overcast Melbourne – but in Santorini, one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, it’s a balmy 25 degrees in startling sunshine, surrounded by cerulean blue waters. Where would you rather be, and more importantly – how quick can we all get to Santorini? Thanks to Contiki pretty damn soon. They take all the hassle out of a holiday, with their tailored group trips with other young people – offering you a tour guide with local know-how, planning your journey, transfers and flights ahead of time – meaning you don’t have to worry about anything – just relax and enjoy your getaway. LWA photography Luke Latty sends us his postcards and inspires us to grab a Greek beer and getaway from it all.

“I had never been to the Greek Islands before so to say I was stoked to hit Santorini was an understatement,” Luke tells us. “This place did not disappoint from the the food to the views to the people this place is amazing. In a nutshell Santorini is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I had the best 24 hours of my life here so let the FOMO begin.”
