In 1450BC, one of volcanic island in Greece blew apart and what remains is a crescent shaped island they called Thira - now capped with white villages clinging to its volcanic cliffs. It was renamed Santorini (Sto Irini or St. Irene) after Venetian conquered the island in 13th century. Fira is the center and the main transport hub of the island. Yes, it is the busiest place but the best location to see the volcano and famous Caldera – you can enjoy the magnificent views from cafes, bars, hotels – truly unique because it may look packed but everything is in good position. Winding through its steps is an experience itself. Oia (eh-ya) is the most famous among the villages in Santorini because of its calm atmosphere and picturesque view… here, you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.
What makes this trip truly special is the time hubby and I spent. We’ve been busy the past few months and here, all we have is each other and the beach, sunset, wine and yummy Greek food, adventures and conversations.
And as for me, another one down from my bucket list. Life is so great.
