Santorini, a Greek island with some magic

Santorini 🇬🇷

One of the beautiful Cyclades islands in Greece (Aegean Sea).

This island is very famous for an old Italian movie I grew up with, so it has always been in my bucket list forever.

Finally I got the chance to go and… it was bigger than I expected, pretty, but very unusual.

So, apparently half of the original island sunk after a massive earthquake in the past, and so now the island look just like a massive “croissant” where the three main towns are dominating the edge of the Caldera volcano (where the explosion and earthquake + tsunami originated from).

The capital #fira is nice with lots of options for food and nightlife, the following town of #imerovigli has some spectacular views of the volcano and the cliff looking down the water, and the most famous town of #oia is pretty much what everyone knows and imagines #santorini is: pretty, cute blue and white domes, build on top of a cliff, with beautiful restaurants, bars and Greek themed shops.

Food in Santorini is great! Lots of expensive seafood and fresh fish options and lots of super cheap yummy #gyros (typical Greek pita with yogurt, salad and meat).

I found Santorini to be beautiful and worth the visit.

They also produce very sweet wines (the island is strangely full of wineries) and tomatoes 🍅🤷🏻♂️.

In my opinion Santorini is fantastic but three days are enough for my liking. You feel spoiled and treated like a king but if you are like me, not a real king, more than three days may be a little stretch 😅😅

Love it though. Will come back one day.
