Overall Guide : It is generally agreed that the spectacular views of the volcano and surrounding islands, and in particular, the sunsets in Santorini, are among the most beautiful in the world. The small towns and of Santorini perch precariously on the overlooking ... Leggi tutto the central lagoon. In and around these, you can visit numerous examples of the small picturesque domed chuches, so representative of Greek island culture. A popular pastime for tourists are visits to the vineyards and production centres of the island’s small but thriving wine industry. Here you can sample, and purchase, a range of Santorini’s delicious and distinctive wines. The main industry though is tourism, and there is an excellent infrustructure including access to black sand beaches, sailing, waterskiing and, of course, diving in the deep lagoon. There are also many tavernas and restaurants where you can enjoy tpical Greek cuisine and the delicious seafood specialities of the island.

Overall Guide : A ride on a caicco (a traditional boat) is very inspiring. You can take it to the volcano with hot springs baths! It's even more romantic if you go at sunset! And above all, dine by candlelight in one of ... Leggi tutto the many restaurants in the fishing port of Oia (the most characteristic town). Finally, you can hire a donkey from the local farmers to climb back up ... it's fantastic!
