Stunning | Santorini, Greece

September 12, 2015


Lets be real, when we think of Greece, our minds immediately picture the beautiful island of Santorini! If your obsession with Santorini started with the movie Sisters of the Traveling Pants or Instagram photos, let me tell you the hype is real. 
Santorini, Greece.
Arriving in Santorini, I could not wait to explore the island. Our first stop was heading to Oia, where its famous for it's unreal spectacular sunsets. We got to walk around and get lost before meeting with the tour group to head over to watch the sunset at the perfect spot that served wine. The group of people I was with made sure to have a full blown photo shoot all over Oia (I have way too many photos it's insane!). Every corner of Oia is picture perfect, I was just in awe and speechless of how truly beautiful this place was. Hence this massive photo filled blog post which I hope I could portray the essence of Santorini with my camera lens.

The following day we started off with an optional of going to Nea Kameni Volcano and also swimming in the Mineral Hot Springs. The hike up the mountain wasn't that bad but the sun was strong this day which made a few us tired more quickly. The views on the top of the volcano are AMAZING, it was so worth it! After taking a few photos we headed back to the boat to go swimming in the Mineral Hot Spring which was so much fun! 

As we returned back to Fira, we had the option in going wine tasting or just having a free day in town. A few us decided to stay in Fira, so we took the donkey ride up into town, lets just say it was an interesting experience. In town we got had lunch at a restaurant that had stunning views of the cliffs and ocean. We then decided to try the infamous fish spa, and the Kissing Fish Spa offered a great deal! Most of the spas we noticed the prices were a bit high for a full session and we weren't sure if we were going to like it so the Kissing Fish Spa offered a trial for a reasonable price. We didn't realize it then but we were actually at the same fish spa that the Kardashians filmed a scene when they were in Greece.

Souvenir shopping in Fira was amazing, I think I spent a little too much there but YOLO right? We took the bus to a black sand beach near our hotel and stayed a bit there. I forgot the name of it but it was actually so much fun with good music, layout chairs, and cocktail services. After realizing the time, we rushed back to out hotel to get ready for dinner. We ended up going to some random restaurant that was able to seat us all and we had the best views of the sunset while enjoying our dinner. Sad that we were leaving Santorini, many of us ended up going to a bar and partying it up before departing to the next island. Stay tuned for my Ios blog post!!
