How To Enjoy Exciting Activities During Santorini Holidays

Santorini is the largest of a group of islands surrounded by the Aegean Sea.

Santorini is the largest of a group of islands surrounded by the Aegean Sea. The other islands in the group comprise the inhabited island of Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Aspronisi, Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, and Christiana. Many tourists and honeymooners from different parts of the world are attracted to the beauty of Santorini. This is mainly owing to the low-lying, white, cubical homes of the settlements that are spread across the island. Almost all of these homes have white shades as a result of being whitewashed or lime-washed using white volcanic ashes as colours. Some of these homes have been converted into hotels in recent times.

You can indulge in some unique experiences during your holidays to Santorini. One of them would be taking a walk through the wild landscapes of Nea Kameni Island, which have been created by the red and black rocks from volcanic eruptions. You can enjoy splendid views from the summit of the volcanic mountain. Reaching this island is made hassle-free with the help of day cruises. You can also hire a boat from one of the local operators to get to Nea Kameni and other islands in the archipelago. The day cruises and boat rides would also help you in exploring the astonishing churches that have been built into the caves.

Upon visiting the island of Palia Kameni during your Santorini holidays, you'll get the opportunity to take a bath in its thermal waters. A visit to one of the villages on the island would also be an unforgettable experience. During your visit, you can explore the cave-like homes that have been painted in white. If you like adventures, you can take a more challenging path to a famous village called Oia. This path takes you through Prophet Elijah's Church, the Black Mountain, and the Chapel of the Cross. The scenes along the way would be more beautiful at the time of sunset.

There are some Santorini holiday deals that give you the chance to stay in one of the luxury hotels located in any of the villages of this gorgeous Greek island. They are provided with world-class amenities like infinity pools, Jacuzzi, and spa. Honeymooners can enjoy candle-lit dinners on the terrace with awe-inspiring views of the Aegean Sea. One of the well-preserved ancient civilisations in the Mediterranean region can be explored while visiting the prehistoric city of Akrotiri. Also of great interest for many history buffs visiting the island is the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, which is located in Fira.

Don't miss the majestic beaches of this mesmerising Greek island that have shades of white, black, and red, created by the volcanic sands. At the organised beaches of the island, you'll get to enjoy some great facilities like sun beds and hammocks. While unwinding on these beaches, you can also enjoy some soothing cocktails and delectable snacks. Watching the setting sun from any of these beaches would be one of the most memorable moments on the island. It is owing to such delightful experiences that many of the newly-weds choose to spend their honeymoon in Santorini.
