Ever since I traveled to Santorini, I think about the island to be among the most gorgeous places on the planet. Every new corner seems more picturesque than the last and pictures will never ever be able to capture its mesmerizing environment. If you're still pondering whether to add Santorini to your pail list, here's 7 Santorini day tours reasons why you require to go to the Greek island.

1. Because of the sundown in Oia

By far, among my preferred minutes in Greece was having the ability to witness the Santorini sundown. It's the only sundown on the planet I have actually seen that gets a round of applause once it subsides. Get down there early though (at least half an hour) for a great spot. The crowds can be a little a headache and the last thing you desire is to be running to discover an area, dodging images whilst all at once attempting to take your own before the sun disappears (been there, done that).

If the crowds show too much, and you would prefer someplace a little quieter, another sunset area is Imerovigli. Once again, it offers a gorgeous, undisturbed view of the sunset.

However in all honesty, you can't truly have a bad sunset in Santorini. It's type of wonderful anywhere you are.

There are a couple of ways to get around the island: leasing a car, ATV, taxi or bus. Nevertheless, taxis can get pricey and buses offer you less time versatility. Roadways are primarily cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian motorists are insane (however exceptionally skilled), which leaves us with leasing an ATV. Renting an ATV, likewise known as a quad bike, is the best and most popular method to navigate the island, particularly thanks to the steep hills and heat which make it a strenuous job walking from point A to B. Plus it's A Lot fun, promise.

Depending on the season, size and type of your ATV it could cost anywhere from 25 to 40 euros for 24 hours. Plus around 8-10 euros per day for fuel, based upon a 200cc ATV.

It's a fantastic and fun method to see the island by yourself terms and time. Absolutely a must-do whilst in Santorini, just make sure to have a drivers license with you.

3. Due to the fact that you can wine & dine with a view

Oia

With spectacular views sweeping over the Aegean Sea and caldera, Santorini will totally exceed any expectations you have of "dinner with a view" with the surroundings that surrounds you.

4. Since of the special beaches

Santorini is not known for its beaches, so do not anticipate the normal white sand & crystal clear water view that you normally connect with Greece. The beaches are volcanic, not white sand, so they're either red or black rocks, pebbles or grit, and get very hot on the feet. Nevertheless, this makes them distinct and some prefer them to the common white sand beach, that makes them well worth a visit. Here's a few I 'd recommend.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

Red Beach: The 'popular' beach of Santorini. It has black and red volcanic pebbles rather of sand and hot water. Make certain to use closed shoes (no thongs or sandals) as the walk in can be slippery and the sand gets extremely hot.
