I've just returned from the beautiful island of Santorini, Greece and after all the blogs i had read before hand, it definitely lived up to my expectations.
If you haven't heard of Santorini before it is a small volcanic island in the Aegean sea mostly recognised for its breathtaking scenery, black sand beach and it's arguably one of the most photogenic places you could visit.
The hotel i stayed in was situated in Perissa, a popular attraction for its black sand beach.
Perissa is one of the more quiet areas in Santoirini but definitely not dull. The beach front is a path which seems to go on for miles with restaurants, shops and bars which overlook amazing veiws of the sea. On the beach you will find a wide range of water sport activities including parasailing, which i took part in for the first time in my life and lets just say it was definitely and experience.
Perissa is a hidden gem in my opinion, as it seems to be overlooked by tourists as they flock to Oia but if your looking for somewhere relaxed, upbeat and friendly then perissa is the place to visit.
I took a day to visit the most popular attraction in Santorini, Oia.
Oia is a town where people flood to with their cameras to catch all of the amazing veiws Oia has to offer, including the famous sunset. The town is filled with beautiful little shops and restaurants, definitely a great place to explore and snap then instagram shots!
Travel in Santorini is best by bus and fairly cheap although you might want to arrive at the bus stop on time in order to get a seat. Taxis are also easily accessible and will generally take you anywhere, slightly more pricey though.
If your looking for the perfect amount of both relaxation and adventure then Santorini is definitely the place for you and i promise you will not be disappointed.
