The most beautiful... Santorini


I believe that there's no other place in Greece, not to say in the world, with the amazing beauty of Santorini.

The Volcano...
Santorini actually created from the volcano. A unique geological phenomenon created in the middle of Aegean Sea an amazing place. Santorini's volcano is one of the four active volcanoes in Aegean Sea. It started its activity before 2,5 million years and it continues till today. Fifty years ago the volcano created a new island named Nea Kameni, the newest land in East Mediterranean Sea.


If you decide to travel by boat you will arrive at Santorini's port after eight hours trip. I have to admit that the first time I saw this port I got disappointed.
Oh my God! What is this!? I'm sure that this island is terrible. I should go to Mykonos instead. But don't be hurry! This is one of the top ten places all over the world.

If you've already arranged a room to a hotel for your staying, you can bypass the hotel and room owners showing you their staff. If you haven't, you can see the rooms from a picture they hold and choose the one you like most. I warn you that it is very difficult to find accommodation in high season (mid July - August) in reasonable price and quality. So plan your trip early!!!

Let's begin our vacations at Chora (Χώρα) in the next post...

But which Greek island are you going to visit? There are so many! Do you know that Greece has 1400 islands. Of course 227 of them are inhabited and only 78 islands have more than 100 inhabitants according to wikipedia .

But first of all I'd like to make clear that I'm a guy who loves his country. I am not a tourist operator, I'm a simple traveler like you. I just want to share with you my experiences from my travels in Greece. I'll prepare you for what you are going to see, meet and taste if you decide to visit one of these places. My purpose is to make you dream your trip to Greece.

I hope that you'll like it.
