Santorini is a famous and popular place in the Greek Islands. Because it is so well known and a hospitable place to be in at the same time, people feel that this is a must see. The island is small, so you can fit everything in within a couple of days. There are many tours in Santorini which you can take advantage of.

Of course, there are tours all over the world. But if you are interested in going to Greece and you just want to make a quick escape, you will find that you don't have to spend very long in a place like this. It is not to say that there is nothing to do or that it is boring. You could stay for some time, but the average person finds that they are able to take advantage of the area in about a week.

There are different tours that specialize in different things. Some people are drawn to the adventure, such as hiking and biking, of which there is lots to choose from. At the same time, you will learn about the history. The big draw point here is how the country was formed and it can be surprising that the area you are standing on was not there before a volcano erupted.

You will be able to get by on your own, with a partner or with your family. The area caters for everyone. For example, there are hiking trails that are appropriate for kids as well as for more serious hikers that are used to this type of strenuous activity. If you just want to unwind and take it easy, you may just want to go swimming or you can go on a cruise.

Once you have completed a tour for the day, you may want to head off to the beach or you can take a sunset cruise in the evening. There are many great restaurants that always provide so much atmosphere. Some of them are perched high up and provide you with a spectacular view. Other are more concerned with the entertainment and some will be more focused on the cuisine.

You could even explore this area on a donkey. However, it is best to go on a tour, because there are certain areas where you cannot go. If you just want to take it easy and relax at the beach, this is just as fun and enjoyable as exploring a new village you haven't seen before. You will find the interesting Red Beach to be very fascinating. There are also those which are busy with restaurants and cafes not too far away.

There is a good atmosphere just about everywhere that you go here. You will find that during the day, and if you are a part animal then you won't be disappointed either. There are quiet restaurants, but there are also dancing clubs where to really let your hair down. The views are great from a lot of these restaurants.

There is also a great swimming pool with a view in Lioyerma. You can be here all day. There is a great view, and it just gets better when the sun goes down. There are many great little restaurants and bistros, situated directly on the bay. These are perfect for watching the sun go down ahead of you.
