Since I traveled to Santorini, I consider the island to be among the most beautiful places worldwide. Every brand-new corner seems more stunning than the last and images will never be able to capture its mesmerizing environment. If you're still pondering whether to include Santorini to your pail list, here's 7 reasons that you require to check out the Greek island.
1. Due to the fact that of the sundown in Oia
By far, one of my preferred moments in Greece was being able to witness the Santorini sunset. It's the only sunset worldwide I've seen that gets a round of applause once it subsides. Come down there early though (at least half an hour) for a good spot. The crowds can be a little a nightmare and the last thing you want is to be running to find an area, dodging images whilst all at once trying to take your own before the sun vanishes (been there, done that).
If the crowds prove excessive, and you would choose Santorini vip tours somewhere a little quieter, another sunset spot is Imerovigli. Again, it uses a lovely, continuous view of the sundown.
However in all honesty, you can't really have a bad sunset in Santorini. It's sort of wonderful anywhere you are.
There are a few ways to get around the island: leasing a cars and truck, ATV, taxi or bus. Nevertheless, taxis can get costly and buses provide you less time flexibility. Roads are mainly cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian chauffeurs are insane (however incredibly skilled), which leaves us with renting an ATV. Leasing an ATV, also known as a quad bike, is the very best and most popular method to navigate the island, specifically thanks to the steep hills and heat that make it an extensive job strolling from point A to B. Plus it's SO much fun, promise.
Depending on the season, size and kind of your ATV Santorini island tours it could cost anywhere from 25 to 40 euros for 24 hours. Plus around 8-10 euros each day for fuel, based upon a 200cc ATV.
It's a fantastic and fun way to see the island by yourself terms and time. Absolutely a must-do whilst in Santorini, simply make certain to have a drivers license with you.
3. Because you can red wine & dine with a view
Oia
With stunning views sweeping over the Aegean Sea and caldera, Santorini will completely go beyond any expectations you have of "dinner with a view" with the landscapes that surrounds you.
If you're searching for restaurants that wed heavenly views with tasty foods, popular ones consist of Ambrosia, 1800 and Lauda in Oia, Archipelagos and V Lounge in Fira, and Kapari Wine Dining Establishment in Imerovigli.
4. Due to the fact that of the unique beaches
Santorini is not understood for private Santorini tours its beaches, so don't anticipate the typical white sand & crystal clear water view that you usually associate with Greece. The beaches are volcanic, not white sand, so they're either red or black rocks, pebbles or grit, and get very hot on the feet. Nevertheless, this makes them distinct and some prefer them to the normal white sand beach, that makes them well worth a check out. Here's a few I 'd advise.
Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini
Red Beach: The 'popular' beach of Santorini. It has black and red volcanic pebbles rather of sand and warm water. Ensure to wear closed shoes (no thongs or sandals) as the walk in can be slippery and the sand gets exceptionally hot.
Kamari: A cosmopolitan beach resort situated on the southern part of Santorini, best beside Perissa, with the enormous rock called Mesa Vouno between them. The sand is black and the waters are deep and blue, with activities such as diving available. There's close-by coffee shops, bars, restaurants, stores and grocery stores, along with a dynamic nightlife that makes it a more popular traveler destination.
