Since I took a trip to Santorini, I consider the island to be one of the most lovely locations on the planet. Every brand-new corner appears more attractive than the last and images 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 that you require to check out the Greek island.

1. Since of the sundown in Oia

By far, among my favourite moments in Greece was being able to witness the Santorini sundown. It's the only sundown in the world 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 little bit of a nightmare and the last thing you desire is to be running to discover an area, dodging pictures whilst at the same time trying to take your own prior to the sun disappears (existed, done that).

If the crowds prove too much, and you would prefer someplace a little quieter, another sundown area is Imerovigli. Again, it provides a gorgeous, uninterrupted view of the sunset.

However in all sincerity, you can't really have a bad sunset in Santorini. It's type of magical anywhere you are.

There are a couple of methods to get around the island: leasing an automobile, ATV, taxi or bus. Nevertheless, taxis can get costly and buses give you less time flexibility. Roads are mostly cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian drivers are insane (but very talented), Santorini top tours 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, 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 enjoyable, promise.

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

It's a fantastic and fun method 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. Due to the fact that you can white wine & dine with a view

Oia

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

If you're searching for dining establishments that marry heavenly views with tasty cuisines, 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 unique beaches

Santorini is not known for its beaches, so do not expect the common white sand & crystal clear water view that you normally associate 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. However, this makes them special and some prefer them to the common white sand beach, which makes them well worth a see. Here's a few I 'd advise.

Red-Beach-of-Akrotiri-Santorini

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

Kamari: A cosmopolitan beach resort situated on the southern part of Santorini, best 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 available. There's close-by coffee shops, bars, restaurants, stores and grocery stores, in addition to a lively night life which makes it a more popular traveler destination.
