Left my Heart in Santorini

Blue roofs to match the sparkling blue sea scatter the skyline as we take our seats on a fabulous cobblestone wall. The sun has begun to drop in the sky and the crowds are filling in any and all open spaces. Situated with a fantastic view of the legendary windmill we were greeted by the occasional passing donkey on its way back up the winding street.

The perfect destination for either an adventure with a best friend or a romantic get-a-way, Santorini is arguably the most beautiful island in Greece. Boasting both red and black sand beaches to go along with its picturesque cliff-side town, it is hard to take a step without something catching your eye.

Walking through Santorini, your senses are bombarded by enticing cooking and the seaside in the wind. Chow down on a mouthwatering Gyro before being drawn into one of the bakeries which are so tightly packed with freshly baked goodies that you have to wiggle through aisles of baked goods so as not to knock anything over.

The real sensory wonder, however, is Santorini at sunset. No matter what part of the island you are on, the sunsets on this enchanting island are mesmerizing and will capture your heart every time.

I fell in love with Santorini while travelling through Greece with one of my very best friends. Having long since finished our island hopping tour of Greece, I have been longing to go back ever since.

If you ever find yourself faced with the opportunity to go to Greece, do not hesitate. Make the time to see the islands and whatever you do, don't miss out on Santorini!
