Santorini Island island of dreamers, the island of all lovers. The island got its name from Holy Irina. The path to Santorini lies through the air or water. You can fly by plane (there are no direct flights) or save and sail on the boat. The most fiscal way is to sail on a slow ship in 9 hours, but it is worth a penny, and you can choose an expensive way - on a high-speed boat.
White walls and blue roofs, shutters and doors - the expression of freedom by the Greek population. At a certain point they were no longer allowed to post flags, and they have white-blue. After the residents of Santorini painted all the houses in the colors of the flag.
We arrived on the island in early June. The heat there was unreal. Whether because the island is at the height, whether simply weather conditions, but move hard. Just fall from the stuff. Holidays in Santorini is completely cheap. Therefore, the hotel is worth choosing independently and in advance. I run ahead. Santorini is very beautiful. But we do not want to return here and do not plan. Prices are unreasonably overestimated.
Island exists mainly almost due to tourism. The local population has no earnings. By the way, there are no hospitals on Santorini and maternity homes.
Sea can be seen almost with any angle. The island is similar in shape on the crescent. But it is impossible to go down to the sea. To do this, you need to go or swim in the pool at the hotel. We never happened to the sea. Since I was just too lazy. All houses and temples are periodically supported in the original form by builders and reconstructors - otherwise, due to the flow of tourists, everything would have fallen long.
Island is very restless. Day and night. It seems that he never sleeps. On the island permanent flows of travelers. And this is at the weather in +40 degrees on the Sun! Especially there are many Chinese weddings.
For locals, living here is also restless. There are no trails / for tourists, all paths run through roofs of buildings. In addition, it is impossible to turn left or right here, you can only go up and down. There are many temples on the island: Orthodox and Catholic. Since Santorini is a religious place. Most of them are painted in the sky and white shade, and the blue dome rises to heaven, leaving.
The city of Fira is the capital of Santorini. We drove to him on the serpentine bus. The trip is not for the faint of heart. The city is located right on the very edge of the abyss at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level. Riding very scary. At the foot of the old seaport is located.
Another city island - Ia. The atmosphere on the island has a very pleasant, small hotels and consist of several rooms.
Santorini Archipelago includes five islands. On the island there is a valid smoldering volcano.
On the island are very beautiful sunsets. On Santorini Island, countless cafes, restaurants, clubs and other entertainment facilities. The cost in them depends on their location. The closer the sea is - the stronger the price is growing. Overlooking the sea, all the most expensive. Therefore, near the coast, they may not differ delicious food, but it will be not so little for it. It is worth it or not - to solve everyone.
