Ever since I took a trip to Santorini, I consider the island to be among the most beautiful locations on the planet. Every new corner seems more picturesque than the last and photos will never have the ability to record its mesmerizing environment. If you're still contemplating whether to include Santorini to your container list, here's 7 reasons you need to go to the Greek island.

1. Due to the fact that of the sunset in Oia

By far, among my favourite minutes in Greece was having the ability to witness the Santorini sundown. It's the only sunset on the planet I have actually seen that gets a round of applause once it subsides. Come down there early though (at least half an hour) for an excellent spot. The crowds can be a little bit of a problem and the last thing you want is to be running to find an area, evading photos whilst simultaneously attempting to take your own before the sun vanishes (existed, done that).

If the crowds prove excessive, and you would prefer somewhere a little quieter, another sunset spot is Imerovigli. Again, it uses a lovely, continuous view of the sunset.

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

There are a few methods to navigate the island: renting a cars and truck, ATV, taxi or bus. However, taxis can get expensive and buses give you less time versatility. Roadways are primarily cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian drivers are insane (however incredibly gifted), which leaves us with renting an ATV. Leasing an ATV, also known as a quad bike, is the best and most popular method to get around the island, specifically thanks to the steep hills and heat that make it an extensive job walking from point A to B. Plus it's SO much enjoyable, pledge.

Depending on the season, size and kind of your ATV it might 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 wonderful and enjoyable way to see the island on your own terms and time. Definitely a must-do whilst in Santorini, just make sure to have a motorists license with you.

3. Since you can red wine & dine with a view

Oia

With stunning views sweeping over the Aegean Sea and caldera, Santorini will entirely go beyond any expectations you have of "dinner with a view" with the landscapes that surrounds you.

If you're trying to find restaurants that wed incredible views Santorini vip tours with scrumptious foods, popular ones include Ambrosia, 1800 and Lauda in Oia, Archipelagos and V Lounge in Fira, and Kapari Red Wine Restaurant in Imerovigli.

4. Due to the fact that of the distinct beaches

Santorini is not understood for its beaches, so don't anticipate the normal white sand & crystal clear water view that you generally 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 distinct and some choose them to the normal white sand beach, which makes them well worth a go to. Here's a couple of I 'd suggest.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

Red Beach: The 'popular' beach of Santorini. It has black and red volcanic pebbles instead 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, right next to Perissa, with the enormous rock called Mesa Vouno between them. The sand is black and the waters are deep and blue, with activities such as diving offered. There's close-by cafes, bars, dining establishments, stores and grocery stores, in addition to a vibrant night life which makes it a more popular traveler destination.
