A Variety Of Santorini Sightseeing Tours

By Donna White


Santorini is one of the most well known islands in terms of the history that comes with it. However, in addition to this, there is so much that you can be involved in. There is a lot to see and there is a lot that you can appreciate. The people will welcome you with open arms as you participate in one of the Santorini sightseeing tours.

Not many people come back from this area feeling disappointed. However, there are certain people who are drawn here more than others. It is folks who enjoy learning about the history and the development of the area who will be most excited. However, there is also a lot to do here. It provides one with a great atmosphere.

It won't take a long time to complete a tour since the island is not very big. The big drawcard is the fact that it was created by a volcano. This is what one gets to know more about as they look at the lagoon and the cliffs. There are great places to stay, but some of these will stand out more because of the views that you get across the lagoon, overlooking the volcano.

A lot of people just want to take it easy here. Other people will get involved in the more adventurous activities. There are many of these around to keep you occupied and very busy. You can participate in some of the hiking trails. There are tours that will arrange this for you. It is helpful because they know the best routes.

Accommodation comes in the form of basic homes that have been standing for many years. The homes are in good condition and often you are hosted by very friendly and hospitable locals. They are not many local people who don't have this friendly nature. Some people decide to do things at their own pace. They may want to have a look around on their own. However, you won't have the same advantage as being on tour.

Like all food in Greece, the cuisine is spectacular. Santorini is no different. However, you really have to know what you are eating. You have to soak it all in and you have to go to the right places. There are tours for you to have this experience. These are popular, as one may expect. Maybe something even better, though is to make the food yourself.

This island can be explored in a day or two. But many people just want to absorb it all in. They want to soak in the atmosphere. You don't want to lose that because it is not only the volcano that is worth seeing, but also the people who are hospitable and friendly. Just by walking along the cobbled footpaths, you will pass ancient ruins. You can almost think that you are going back to the times of old.

This is a place with a lot of character. It is a great place to explore. You can go up little alleys with cobbled paths and you will find so much architecture which has been left standing just as it is. There are beautiful churches and unique homes with stairs leading you up and down to various places. It is especially nice to explore Oia, which stands out.
