"The ultimate greek island" Santorini Island by SirRichard


Santorini Island Travel Guide: 1,873 reviews and 5,091 photos

When U think of a greek island, U R thinking of Santorini. Its white houses, its impressive cliffs, its blue waters...
Santorini, also called Thira (pronounce it F-ee-ra) was a circular island till in 1650 BC a huge explosion left just the outskirts of it. Nowadays the villages are on top of the cliff of the crater, and in the middle is a fantastic bay with many little volcanic islands.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Its beautiful scenery
  • Cons:Always crowded, packed of tourists
  • In a nutshell:If U have to choose visiting just 1 island, come here!
