Greek pearl: Santorini island
Holidays in Santorini are the dream of many tourists. Among all the resorts in Greece, this island is special. Reviews from everyone who vacationed on Santorini are unanimous recognition of the island as the most beautiful place. The ancient land became the cradle of the Minoan civilization. The history of Greece and the island of Santorini began 6 thousand years ago. The Minoans were destroyed by a volcano, the island changed its shape, and a tsunami swept across Crete. The island received its name much later, and it was named in honor of the patroness St. Irene.

Romantic island
Often newlyweds and couples in the romantic phase of a relationship want to buy a tour in Santorini. And this is not in vain. The atmosphere of the island creates a unique ambience - bright blue and white colors reign everywhere. The transparent waters of the Aegean Sea, the mighty contours of the volcano, and snow-white houses with blue roofs. The capital of Santorini, the city of Fira, has a lot of entertainment for young and active tourists. And even the beaches in Santorini are extraordinary. They are named after the color of the pebbles on the coast. The black beach is strewn with volcanic pebbles and dark-colored sand. The white beach is surrounded by pumice rocks, and the shore is covered with snow-white pebbles. Particularly striking is the red beach, where the shore of a bright terracotta shade is set off by turquoise sea water.
All these exotic landscapes are a wonderful backdrop for romantic photographs and for wedding ceremonies. Santorini cannot be called a green island; the vegetation here is mainly vineyards and cacti. But the wine in Santorini, which costs about 25 euros per bottle, is very tasty. It is prepared using special local technologies, which are kept strictly secret.
