Santorini
Santorini
Santorini, known since ancient times as Thira, is one of the most famous islands in the world. The fact that you can sit in front of the caldera, enjoy local dishes, a drink or a coffee while gazing at the remarkable beauty of an active volcano is priceless!
The island is actually a group of islands consisting of Thira, Thirassia, Aspronissi, Palea and Nea Kameni in the southernmost part of the Cyclades.
Sightseeing
Santorini island, being an attraction itself with its incomparable beauty, has many sights to visit and various activities to do that can surely satisfy every need and taste. The attractions of the island will definitely fill you with awe and excitement, some of them can really leave you speechless, and will offer you special memories you will treasure for a lifetime.
The greatest attraction of Santorini is unquestionably the volcano that shaped the whole island and gave it its unique character and its stunning natural beauty. There are organized excursions that give you the chance to visit and explore it up close, but just the mere view of it lying across the Aegean Sea is spectacular.
Beaches
The sugar-cubed houses along the caldera are guaranteed to be among the prettiest sights you’ll see, and the beaches are similarly unique, with the volcanic rock providing an extravagant amount of diversity in colour and composition. You can take your pick. Red, white and black shores, pebbly or sandy, there’s even the choice of swimming in Santorini’s famous caldera.
Greek Cuisine
On islands as well-travelled as Santorini, you might expect to sacrifice substance for style in local restaurants. But between the traditional tavernas and smart supper spots, travellers can find Santorini restaurants for fresh seafood, family-run eateries and truly authentic Mediterranean menus. The cherry on top? Some of these tables are angled perfectly to watch the sunset over the caldera, making every evening meal all the more special.
