Question: Have you ever had wanderlust so crippling that you superimpose yourself on vacation-type visuals?
In light of recent events, Santorini was put in the spotlight under unfair circumstances. Also known as the supermodel of the Greek islands, the idyllic destination was but a tool for someone else's Instagram fame, where its beauty exploited to serve as a likes-generating backdrop.
Dazzling paranomas, sprawling vineyards, historical sites, a sleeping volcano, and guaranteed sunsets every day, Santorini is truly a place brimming with all sorts of activities and sights that you have to visit, in the flesh. And if you score a brilliant photo during your vacation, it definitely deserves bragging rights on Instagram. At least you aren't duping anyone!
4. Dive in volcanic waters
Scuba-diving in Santorini is a different experience altogether. While coral formations and sea creatures clamour for your attention, diving in the Aegean’s waters offers an alternative way of getting a closer look at the majestic volcano. Your oceanic exploration will also bring you to numerous shipwrecks at Taxiarchis, Palia Kameni, the caves at Mesa Pigadia and the “Indian rock” in Akrotiri, where you can swim through the now empty cabins of sunken ships. Book your dives through Santorini Dive Center.
