Greece is obviously one of the best places to visit in the European continent. Moreover, since Greece has several islands surrounding it, there are lots of tour options for travellers.
We have always wished to visit Greece, specifically the Santorini island. It’s known as one of the most beautiful places in the world and we were quite excited about our trip plan to this island.
Even though we mainly wanted to visit the island because of it’s beauty, there were several other reasons also. In this upcoming section, we will point out the prime factors which compelled us to book private tours in Santorini Greece.
Caldera shaped towns
Santorini was formed after a huge volcanic eruption which changed the island’s terrain. The island borders are shaped in form of calderas with rugged terrain and a perfect view of the Aegean Sea. We were completely blown away when we saw that the towns are built on the caldera terrain.
Exquisite beauty of the sunset
To be honest, we have never experienced how beautiful the sunset can be until we visited Santorini. As the town sits at the edge of the volcanic highlands, we had a direct view of the horizon and the open sky from our hotel. The view was breath taking as we saw the sun disappearing in the horizon while shades of red, orange and yellow painted the sky.
Luxury accommodations
One of the main reasons for which we were eager to book private tours in Santorini Greece was the luxury accommodation. While searching through the living options, we came across sea-facing hotels, private villas with outdoor pools, small villas facing the seas, and others. Every accommodation that we looked into was the epitome of luxury and beauty.
Wide and long beaches
Since Santorini is an island, we were expecting to spend some quality time in the beaches. And we weren’t left disappointed because the island has long stretches of white sandy beaches. Some of the areas were crowded with both locals and tourists while some places were secluded.
Adventurous boat tours
Lastly, in Santorini, we could book boat tours to visit the nearby dormant volcanic mountains which haven’t erupted since a long time. Along with marvelling at the beauty of the mountains, we could take a dip in the hot springs. It is believed that the water in these hot springs have healing properties.
Summing up!
Apart from the points we described above, Santorini is also popular due to its architectural beauty with white walls, dome shaped ceilings, and winding alleys. In addition, there are several historical sites that can be visited near Santorini with help of well trained guides of Top Greece Tours .
