Ever since I traveled to Santorini, I consider the island to be among the most gorgeous places in the world. Every new corner seems more attractive than the last and images will never ever be able to catch its enchanting atmosphere. If you're still contemplating whether to include Santorini to your pail list, here's 7 reasons that you require to check out the Greek island.

1. Because of the sundown in Oia

By far, one of my favourite moments in Greece was being able to witness the Santorini sundown. It's the only sundown worldwide I've seen that gets a round of applause once it subsides. Get down there early though (a minimum of half an hour) for an excellent area. The crowds can be a little bit of a headache and the last thing you want is to be going to discover a spot, evading images whilst simultaneously trying to take your own before the sun disappears (existed, done that).

If the crowds show too much, and you would choose someplace a little quieter, another sundown spot is Imerovigli. Again, it provides a lovely, uninterrupted view of the sundown.

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

There are a couple of methods to navigate the island: leasing an automobile, ATV, taxi or bus. However, taxis can get costly and buses offer you less time flexibility. Roadways are mainly cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian drivers are insane (but exceptionally talented), which leaves us with renting an ATV. Renting an ATV, also known as a quad bike, is the best and most popular way to get around the island, particularly thanks to the steep hills and heat that make it an extensive job walking from point A to B. Plus it's A Lot enjoyable, pledge.

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

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

3. Because you can white wine & dine with a view

Oia

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

If you're trying to find restaurants that marry incredible views with tasty foods, popular ones include Ambrosia, 1800 and Lauda in Oia, Archipelagos and V Lounge in Fira, and Kapari Red Wine Dining Establishment in Imerovigli.

4. Since of the distinct beaches

Santorini is not understood for its beaches, so do not anticipate the common white sand & crystal clear water view that you Santorini guided tours normally connect 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 unique and some choose them to the typical white sand beach, that makes them well worth a check out. Here's a couple of I 'd advise.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

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

Kamari: A cosmopolitan beach resort situated on the southern part of Santorini, ideal next to Perissa, with the massive rock called Mesa Vouno 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, dining establishments, shops and supermarkets, in addition to a vibrant night life that makes it a more popular traveler destination.
