Santorini
Santorini is a stunning destination with steep cliffs, turquoise seas, and a volcanic landscape that creates an effect of incomparable beauty. The island’s unique shape was formed by a cataclysmic eruption from its still-active volcano. With its shocking landscape and sophisticated lifestyle, Santorini is on every travel list and should not be missed. Every corner of the island is simply idyllic, while the sunset at the old castle of Oia is probably the most romantic thing you will see.

As you walk along the town of Fira, you won’t know whether to look at the view of the sunken volcano or the numerous sophisticated shops and elegant boutiques. Santorini is home to some of the best restaurants in Greece, with a variety to suit every taste. From the epicenters of haute cuisine in Fira and Oia, to the lovely little tavernas in Perigiali and Perivolos, the culinary scene will surely enchant you. Of course, you should not miss the local fava beans and when it comes to the culinary experience, it goes without saying that you should try the local wines. The volcanic soil of Santorini is responsible for some of the most refined wines you will ever taste.
The beaches of the island are also special in their character. Mavri Paralia in Kamari is simply wonderful, with small quaint tavernas to eat after your swim. Under no circumstances should you miss the Red Beach. Transparent waters, the special sand from which it got its name, but also the cliff that rises directly above it, make for an experience completely unprecedented and unreal.
If you are a history buff, Santorini is home to some of the finest and best-preserved finds of ancient art. Thanks to the volcanic eruptions, you will be able to admire the almost intact ancient wall paintings located in the Archaeological Museum of Fira and the Museum of Prehistoric Thira. A few more suggestions worth visiting during your stay include enjoying the sunset in the settlement of Oia, trying the famous Vinsanto wine, walking to the volcano, and taking in the caldera view. You can also visit Akrotiri and Mesa Vounos with the Archaeological site of Akrotiri and the Archaeological site of Thira.
