Ever since I took a trip to Santorini, I think about the island to be one of the most beautiful locations on the planet. Every Santorini vip tours new corner appears more picturesque than the last and photos will never ever be able to capture its mesmerizing atmosphere. If you're still contemplating whether to add Santorini to your container list, here's 7 reasons you require to check out the Greek island.

1. Because of the sunset in Oia

Hands down, one of my favourite minutes 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. Get down there early though (at least half an hour) for a good area. The crowds can be a little 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 prior to the sun vanishes (been there, done that).

If the crowds show too much, and you would choose somewhere a little quieter, another sundown spot is Imerovigli. Once again, it provides a beautiful, undisturbed view of the sunset.

But in all sincerity, you can't actually have a bad sundown in Santorini. It's type of wonderful anywhere you are.

There are a few ways to get around the island: leasing a vehicle, ATV, taxi or bus. However, taxis can get pricey and buses give you less time flexibility. Roads are mostly cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian motorists are insane (however incredibly talented), which leaves us with renting an ATV. Renting an ATV, likewise referred to as a quad bike, is the very best and most popular method to navigate the island, particularly thanks to the high hills and heat that make it a strenuous task strolling from point A to B. Plus it's A Lot enjoyable, promise.

Depending upon 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 daily for fuel, based on a 200cc ATV.

It's a wonderful and enjoyable method to see the island by yourself terms and time. Certainly a must-do whilst in Santorini, simply make sure to have a motorists license with you.

3. Because you can wine & dine with a view

Oia

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

If you're looking for restaurants that marry heavenly views with tasty foods, popular ones consist of Ambrosia, 1800 and Lauda in Oia, Archipelagos and V Lounge in Fira, and Kapari Red Wine Dining Establishment in Imerovigli.

4. Because of the unique beaches

Santorini is not understood for its beaches, so don't expect the common white sand & crystal clear water view that you usually connect 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. Nevertheless, this makes them unique and some choose them to the common white sand beach, that makes them well worth a go to. Here's a few I 'd recommend.

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

The sand is black and the waters are deep and blue, with activities such as diving available.
