Why Santorini?
Describing Santorini as beautiful would be wrong, describing it as deeply impressive and at times, awe-inspiring would be far more accurate. Just look at the beaches for example, nearby Mykonos has beautiful white, sandy beaches, but Santorini has impressive black and red sandy ones. The sight of the hotels and houses clinging to the edge of the cliffs is something that is rarely seen and makes for some fantastic photos and hours of simply drinking in the view.
What can be described as beautiful (and impressive and awe-inspiring) is the sunset. It may be near to cliché status, but Santorini’s reputation is well-deserved; it’s a wonderful performance repeated on a daily basis.
Santorini makes for a perfect romantic holiday or honeymoon. Most hotels understand this and do everything they can to provide an intimate atmosphere. Imagine wandering the narrow, twisting streets in the evening before watching the sun go down in a quiet café and finally sharing a private dinner for two – all the while surrounded by white and blue buildings and the view of the Caldera – and you have the makings of a dream honeymoon.
The best part is that Santorini is so much more than sunsets and volcano’s, and only by visiting will you realise just how much. |
