Since I traveled to Santorini, I consider the island to be among the most beautiful places worldwide. Every new corner seems more attractive than the last and photos will never ever be able to record its mesmerizing environment. If you're still pondering whether to include Santorini to your pail list, here's 7 reasons that you need to go to the Greek island.

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

By far, one of my favourite moments in Greece was having the ability to witness the Santorini sunset. It's the only sunset on the planet I have actually 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 bit of a headache and the last thing you desire is to be running to find a spot, evading photos whilst all at once trying to take your own prior to the sun vanishes (existed, done that).

If the crowds prove too much, and you would choose someplace a little quieter, another sundown spot is Imerovigli. Again, it offers a beautiful, uninterrupted view of the sunset.

But in all sincerity, you can't actually have a bad sunset in Santorini. It's kind of magical anywhere you are.

There are a few ways to navigate the island: renting an automobile, ATV, taxi or bus. However, taxis can get costly and buses provide you less time flexibility. Roads are primarily cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian motorists are insane (however extremely gifted), which leaves us with leasing an ATV. Leasing an ATV, likewise called a quad bike, is the best and most popular method to get around the island, particularly thanks to the steep hills and heat that make it a rigorous job 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 to 40 euros for 24 hr. Plus around 8-10 euros per day for fuel, based upon a 200cc ATV.

It's a terrific and fun way to see the island on your own terms and time. Certainly a must-do whilst in Santorini, simply make sure to have a drivers license with you.

3. Since you can red 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 looking for restaurants that marry divine views with delicious foods, popular ones consist of Ambrosia, 1800 and Lauda in Oia, Archipelagos and V Lounge in Fira, and Kapari Wine Dining Establishment in Imerovigli.

4. Because of the special beaches

Santorini is not known 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 really hot on the feet. However, this makes them unique and some choose them to the common white sand beach, that makes them well worth a visit. Here's a couple of I 'd recommend.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

Red Beach: The 'famous' 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 exceptionally hot.

Kamari: A cosmopolitan beach resort situated on the southern part of Santorini, ideal beside Perissa, with the enormous rock called Mesa Vouno in between them. The sand is black and the waters are deep and blue, with activities such as diving readily available. There's close-by coffee shops, bars, dining establishments, stores and supermarkets, as well as a vibrant night life that makes it a more popular tourist location.
