Since I took a trip to Santorini, I consider the island to be one of the most stunning places on the planet. Every new corner seems more attractive than the last and images will never have the ability to capture its enchanting atmosphere. If you're still contemplating whether to add Santorini to your bucket list, here's 7 reasons you require to go to the Greek island.

1. Because of the sundown in Oia

Hands down, one of my preferred moments in Greece was being able to witness the Santorini sundown. It's the only sundown worldwide I have actually seen that gets a round of applause once it subsides. Come down there early though (at least half an hour) for a good area. The crowds can be a bit of a headache and the last thing you desire is to be running to discover an area, evading photos whilst at the same time trying to take your own before the sun disappears (been there, done that).

If the crowds show excessive, and you would choose someplace a little quieter, another sunset spot is Imerovigli. Again, it provides a beautiful, continuous view of the sundown.

But in all sincerity, you can't truly have a bad sunset in Santorini. It's sort of wonderful anywhere you are.

There are a couple of methods to get around the island: renting a cars and truck, ATV, taxi or bus. Nevertheless, taxis can get expensive and buses give you less time versatility. Roadways are mainly cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian chauffeurs are insane (but incredibly talented), which leaves us with leasing an ATV. Leasing an ATV, likewise referred to as a quad bike, is the best and most popular way to get around the island, specifically thanks to the steep hills and heat which make it a rigorous task walking from point A to B. Plus it's SO much fun, guarantee.

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

It's a terrific and fun way to see the island by yourself terms and time. Certainly a must-do whilst in Santorini, just make certain to have a motorists license with you.

3. Because you can wine & dine with a view

4. Because of the special beaches

Santorini is not known for its beaches, so don't expect the normal white sand & crystal clear water view that you usually associate with Greece. The beaches are volcanic, not white sand, so they're either red or black rocks, pebbles or grit, and get extremely hot on the feet. Nevertheless, this makes them special and some prefer them to the typical white sand beach, which makes them well worth a see. Here's a couple of I 'd advise.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

Red Beach: The 'well-known' beach of Santorini. It has black and red volcanic pebbles instead of sand and warm water. Ensure to use closed shoes (no thongs or shoes) as the walk in can be slippery and the sand gets very hot.

Kamari: A cosmopolitan beach resort located on the southern part of Santorini, ideal beside Perissa, with the massive rock called Mesa Vouno in between them. The sand is black and the waters are deep and blue, with activities such as diving available. There's close-by coffee shops, bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets, along with a dynamic night life that makes it a more popular traveler destination.
