8Santorini: A Dream in White and Blue
Arguably the most famous of the Greek islands, Santorini is a destination that exceeds expectations. Known for its breathtaking sunsets, pristine white buildings with blue-domed roofs, and crystal-clear waters, Santorini is like something out of a fairy tale. The island is the result of a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, which created the caldera — a massive crater now surrounded by towering cliffs. The towns of Fira and Oia offer panoramic views of the caldera and the sparkling sea, with narrow streets lined with traditional architecture and boutique shops.
In addition to the stunning views, Santorini is famous for its black sand beaches, such as Kamari and Perissa, where the contrast between the dark volcanic sand and turquoise waters creates a surreal scene. The island’s beauty is further enhanced by its charming villages, stunning cliffs, and the unforgettable sight of the sun dipping below the horizon, casting golden hues over the landscape.
