Santorini, arguably Greece’s most beautiful
island, had the top spot on my Travel Wish List for a long time. When I finally
managed to arrange a week holiday in paradise with my boyfriend I realised that
Santorini seriously looks like a place from a fairy tale! It’s like stepping
into a totally different world. It is absolutely incredible.
Regarding my experience with the island I
have written five different reasons why you should go to Santorini. I am
sharing some photographs I took during our trip. The pictures speak for
themselves!
#1 Stunning views. The whole island looks like
paradise, from each side, wherever you look, the views are there. I could not
stop photographing the blue sky, white buildings, mountains surrounded by
seemingly never-ending water.
#2 Sleeping on the edge! Santorini is known
for its amazing hotels right at the edge. Just imagine: a beautiful suite,
where you have your own outdoor hot tub or swimming pool, private terrace and
the views– this is not a joke, it actually exists! I have to be honest though,
unfortunately the dream hotels are very pricey. However you can still find
other options and try to look at hostels or Airbnb.
#3 Eating dinner with a view. Despite the fact that the food in Santorini is
spectacular, look at the view you have it with! And you better come a bit
earlier for dinner to get the best table right at the edge! I have to admit all
the meals during my stay there were great, including a delicious lunch at Argo
Restaurant, a wonderfully fresh seafood dinner at Naoussa. Santorini has
several vineyards producing wine, as well as the popular Greek ouzo. I admit
ouzo was totally not for me, but I appreciated the numbers of time it was
offered.
#4 Sunsets in Santorini. Would impress even the
biggest non-romantic. No doubts - the best sunsets in the world! Santorini and
the picturesque town of Oia win the best sunset competition around the world.
You can gladly watch it for a good 30 minutes. Everyone would definitely enjoy
the beautiful sunsets on the island.
#5 Fall in love… Love is in the air? This
sentence definitely works for Santorini. The island is famous for weddings,
engagements, and romantic holidays. However if you are single you will definitely
not feel lonely here! The island is magical and makes you fall in love, maybe
with the island, maybe with somebody?
