Ever since I took a trip to Santorini, I consider the island to be among the most gorgeous locations in the world. Every brand-new corner seems more stunning than the last and images will never ever be able to record its enchanting environment. If you're still pondering whether to include Santorini to your bucket list, here's 7 reasons that you need to visit the Greek island.

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

By far, one of my preferred minutes in Greece was being able to witness the Santorini sunset. It's the only sundown 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 a great area. The crowds can be a bit of a nightmare and the last thing you want is to be running to discover an area, evading pictures whilst concurrently trying to take your own prior to the sun vanishes (been there, done that).

If the crowds show too much, and you would choose someplace a little quieter, https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=Santorini tours another sundown area is Imerovigli. Once again, it offers a gorgeous, 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 couple of methods to get around the island: leasing a vehicle, ATV, taxi or bus. Nevertheless, taxis can get pricey and buses provide you less time flexibility. Roads are primarily cobble-stoned, narrow and Grecian motorists are crazy (however exceptionally talented), which leaves us with renting an ATV. Leasing an ATV, also called a quad bike, is the very best and most popular method to navigate the island, particularly thanks to the high hills and heat which make it a rigorous job walking from point A to B. Plus it's SO much fun, pledge.

Depending on the season, size and type 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 fantastic and enjoyable method to see the island on your own terms and time. Certainly a must-do whilst in Santorini, simply make certain to have a chauffeurs license with you.

Santorini is not known for its beaches, so don't expect the normal white sand & crystal clear water view that you typically associate 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. Nevertheless, this makes them unique and some choose them to the common white sand beach, that makes them well worth a visit. Here's a few I 'd suggest.
