SANTORINI

Location:
Greece

SUNSETS, VOLCANOES, AND HOT SPRINGS

By Anastasia Diamantis

EVER TRAVELED TO A PLACE THAT IS KNOWN FOR ROMANTIC PASSION AND ADVENTUROUS OUTINGS ALL IN 1 ISLAND? SANTORINI, FAMOUS FOR ENGAGEMENTS, WEDDINGS, AND HONEYMOONS IS BLISSFUL FOR COUPLES, ADVENTUROUS AND HAS ALL THE CHARISMA THAT A TRAVELER EXPECTS OF OF GREECE. THE OFFICIAL ISLAND'S NAME IS THIRA, AND HAS INTENSE VOLCANIC ACTIVITY. THIRA, MEANING CIRCULAR IN GREEK, USED TO BE JUST THAT, A CIRCLE UNTIL A HISTORICAL ERUPTION EXPLODED SANTORINI MAKING IT A LEGENDARY "LOST ATLANTIS" THAT IS SO MYTHICAL TODAY. FOR THE BEST SUNSET A PERSON WILL EVER SEEN IN THEIR LIFE, VISIT OIA, KNOWN TO GIVE AN EYEFUL WITH SO MUCH GRANDEUR IN COLOR. FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO EXPERIENCE SANTORINI, I RECOMMEND DOING THE DAY TRIP OF THE VOLCANO, HOT SPRINGS, AND THIRASSA, WHERE OIA CAN BE EXPLORED TO SEE THE SUNSET. IT COSTS ABOUT 25 EURO. ANYONE WITH CURIOSITY FOR LEGEND AND MYTH, ROMANCE AND BEAUTY, WOULD LOVE SANTORINI, AS IT GIVES THE TRAVELER EVERYTHING AND MORE THAT IS EXPECTED OF THIS POPULAR AND TINY LITTLE ISLAND.
