From early childhood, I dreamed of getting to the island of Santorini, the screensavers on the computer and the phone were photographs of white-blue houses against the background of the volcano. And here the dream came true! The first time I visited there within a day excursion from Crete - impressions indescribable! But this was not enough, and this year, having gone to Crete, we booked the hotel yourself for three nights for Santorini, bought a ticket to the ferry ...
The island is completely small - at the highest point is the island you can see all his four sides. So. The capital of Santorini is the city of Fira. It is from here most of the most popular photos of blue-white houses and bright floweries. In the evenings. When crowds of tourists come ride from all over Greece, it becomes completely cursed on the island ... quiet. Calmly. At home ... you can relax and enjoy a complete pacification
Hotel We booked specifically overlooking the caldera to fully enjoy one of the most gorgeous sunsets of the world. Tourists to watch this sunset, take the best places almost in a few hours. And hotels with views of Caldera are standing from 200 euros per night. It was the most beautiful evening in my life ... But even if it does not work out to live in the hotel with a view, nothing terrible, there are many cafes and restaurants with access to the caldera, as well as viewing sites. You can easily choose a suitable place. In each town, its singular features. Accepted. What is the most beautiful - in Ye and Fir, although they also vary.
Also be sure to take a tour of the volcano himself, with a race for thermal waters. Just need to take with you dark swimsuits, otherwise it is possible that the white will become black)) all the volcanic elements in the water are to blame.
Also on Santorini some of the most unusual beaches in Greece. There is a black beach - with volcanic sand, there is a white beach, there is red. It is not very easy to get to them. White beach, for example, can only be reached on the boat. Next to the bus stop there is a berth, where small boats depart every fifteen minutes and tourists are taken to their interests. We went to the red beach yourself - it is better to take comfortable shoes. Crane on the rocks is not the most pleasant pleasure, but these types are worth it !!! The contrast between fire-red cliffs and turquoise water is one of the most beautiful combinations!
Getting to any point on the island is possible a maximum of twenty minutes - the territory of the island is very small. But even three days it seemed very little. The weeks would be quite enough. There are a lot of Chinese on the streets that aroused wedding photos. It even seemed that in China - this is a tradition - to go to Santorini to arrange a wedding.
And one more beautiful village of Iia - it is at the highest point on the island. Very little streets, many people around and unreal bake. It is better to walk along it either in the evening, or closer to the end of the season - the end of September October, otherwise, instead of delight you can earn a sunnd))
At the end of the trip, we decided that in our wedding trip, we would definitely go there! Photos in white and blue clothes will look amazing .. after such trips, it seems that Paradise exists!
