Yes, we just can’t get enough of Santorini. This is probably one of the most breath-taking places in the whole world. It’s so genuinely dramatically romantic that you’d want to stay there. The best way to explore Santorini would be by foot but if it’s your first time, you’d be better off joining a tour group first. After we shared some tips in going to Santorini in our previous post, we’ll name now some spots you should not miss while there:
Oia
In Greek, that’s pronounced E-ah. Anyway, Oia is the part of Santorini featured in so many movies (like Mama Mia). Oia is best known for the cave houses built into its cliff. These cave houses, serenely white, are beautiful either from a distance or up close.
Local Winery
Of course, there is quite an abundance of wineries in Santorini, depends on which one your tour guide decides to bring you to. We were brought into one which bore no name but whose wines were thick tasting but good. Tip though, the desert wines are better than the reds and whites in Santorini so if you wanna try something, try that.
Vineyard
What is really interesting about the wine-making in Santorini though, goes beyond the wine. It’s actually how they grow the grapes. See, in order for them to grow grapes, they have to weave them into basket-like shape so that the grapes will grow in the middle of the basket and be protected from the wind. Genius, really.
As for the rest of places you should visit, that’s up to you. There are markets in almost every town where you can get souvenirs and try local foods. Santorini is also really amazing once you see it at night. So go out at night and get lost a little. You might just get the time of your life.
