Santorini is one of my favourite places that I’ve visited. I
hope to go back to one of the most mesmerising islands in the world.
While the rest of
Australia were hiding away from the terrible cold, my family and I enjoyed part
of our summer on the Greek island of Santorini. We spent our nights watching the
beautiful, romantic sunsets fill the crystal clear blue sky which
matched the colour of the ocean.
There are many things that make this island unique, though
the main reason why Santorini is like no other island in the world is because
of how it came to be. It is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic
explosion. The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea leaving us with
incredible views of the sparkling and magical blue ocean. The island is also
famously known for its unusual red and black beaches. The Greek Island of
Santorini is located in the central south end of the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea.
Everywhere you go in Santorini is magical. It has some of
the nicest villages and towns, my personal favourite being the town of Oia, for
its unforgettable sunsets, little shops and beautiful food. Fira is the capital
of the Island and is another beautiful place to visit whilst in Santorini, it
is a city of beaming white houses and glorious vistas. It’s also worth visiting
The Museum of Prehistoric Fira which gives you some interesting insight on the
history of the island. The island has
many other small towns which are less than a 5 minute drive or some even
walking distance from one another, and each one is just as beautiful as the
other, that is what makes the island so special.
Where ever you are in Santorini you are sure to be blown
away by your surroundings and pleasantly blinded by the beautiful things around
you, you surely won’t be disappointed in what Santorini has to offer!
