Some people come to Santorini for the magical sunsets over the Caldera, some come for the romance, and some for the nightlife. I’ve wanted to come here since I was a small child. I remember watching a television program about the lost city of Atlantis and I glimpsed the white washed blue domed churches that are synonymous with the island.
My first time was 5 years ago and I’ve been drawn back 4 times. The first time was as a back-packer, the second as lone traveler, the third with my boyfriend and the forth, crashing the honeymoon of my best friend. To say I’ve seen everything the island has to offer would be an understatement, but to say I’ve had enough would be a drastic exaggeration.
You start with the churches, those white washed blue domed churches that are all over the island. Climbing stair after painted white stair, every corner showing you more of the history and the enchantment that is on offer. Cruise ships arrive in droves to take in this startling island and looking up, makes you smile in absolute amazement at this picture perfect village perched on the top of a volcano.
My 6 things about Santorini:
- It's the ultimate romantic destination: Without being in your face. I love romance - even if it isn't me being romanced.
- The best weather: There is something about the sun there, even in summer, it is absolutely perfect.
- Look at me !!: It is no where near as showy as other islands in the Mediterranean. Comfortably chilled.
- Something new around every corner: Each time I visit, I have found a new village, or area never found before.
- Lots of my favorite animal ever... DONKEYS
- Greek food: Enough said
