Having been once on the island-volcano Santorini, it is impossible not to want to go back there again. I do not know the place so unusual and beautiful as this island. Of course, for the rest of the large company of young guys, the place is not the most appropriate. But if you want to go to Nirvana and abstract from around the world, please your gaze unforgettable nature and architecture, then you are here. The story of the island itself, its features of the structure are of genuine interest in seeing with their own eyes. This is a miracle of nature in combination with civilization, because not every island had so many lives - before the volcanic eruptions and after, again the eruption - and again people on the frozen lava, Literally from the pure sheet, the cities and towns erected. Even from the sea, surprised by the extraordinary structure of cities and houses and hotels on it are located across the steep mountainside of the Lestenka, the mind can not be attached, how much buildings are built, how they are digging and laid the foundation, in general, the mass of surprise and delight from snow-white buildings with blue Roofs and domes. On Santorini there are a lot of white-blue small temples and churches, they say that they were built by families of sailors in honor of their children or family members.
Holidays in Santorini is difficult to call the beach, because it consists entirely of frozen lava and rocks, however, there are several equipped beaches with black sand of volcanic origin. Once here, I want to wander around the streets of the city and watch outlooking views of the sea, bays, ships and embankment, architecture and nature. Here are the two most visited tourists of the city - Iia and Fira. Here you can feel the Greek atmosphere of the island and fully enjoy its beauty. In these two cities, excellent viewing platforms, with the most amazing view, exciting consciousness.
It is difficult to say that a walking walk around the cities brought great pleasure, in principle, everything would be fine - but in the cities there are incredibly narrow streets and a stream of tourists, everyone pushed, go, not even take a picture of the streets and amazing shops with local facilities
Another small minus - stalked on the streets. The climate in Greece is very hot, there are practically no precipitation in the summer, on Santorini, as it seemed to me, even hotter than in Crete. Streets are not washed with rain and, in view of the fact that with fresh water, all the same on the volcanic island, small problems (all the water in the cranes from the barrels that are on the roofs), the streets are not washed at all, and the donkeys are the main and only means of cargo movement. According to the cascading streets of cities, in general, the ammonia starch is also. And, well, in the heat it is incredibly hard to walk around the cascades and the streets leading up, then down. However, if your hotel is located near the city, the best option enjoys the atmosphere of Santorini - it is closer to sunset. Most often, hotels and small hotels are located on Santorini on the slopes of the mountains, so, for the inability to swim in the sea at any moment (the road may not be close) for him) for each hotel, and, often, rooms, have their own small swimming pool in which You can enjoy stunning views.
For newlyweds and steam, such hotel options are the best - you can quit together as much as you like, romantic species and isolation from people, as well as luxurious wine-made wine, which orders from Santorini Pope itself, will create their unforgettable atmosphere! In the evening you can sit in one of the many bars on the street, from which all the same amazing views are opened. You can travel around the city on the car by car, but I did not risk it - I was afraid of this serpentine.
