A Variety Of Santorini Sightseeing Tours

By Donna White


Santorini is a well known island in Greece, well situated because it is easy to get to from Athens. It doesn't take long to get to the area from London. Santorini has a lot of history that one needs to know about. Besides this, there is a lot to do and there is a lot to see. There are many Santorini sightseeing tours that are arranged in the area.

It is recommended that one takes advantage of these because you will be guided by someone who knows the area. They will be a local, but they will speak English. Tours are well organized and often they are specialized. Usually someone will want to start off by seeing all the sights and just getting to know more about the history and the area.

There is something for everyone which is why all sorts of people flock into the area. This includes honeymooners, families as well as young backpackers and solo travellers. You will find that besides the activities, there is a lot of entertainment available so you won't get bored. There are great restaurants and other forms of night life. Many people enjoy dancing the night away at the clubs.

A lot of people just because they want to do one of these tours, and they decide to stay in a hotel where they will be treated well. Usually these hotels are situated in a great spot, overlooking the present volcano. However, you do pay a lot for this, and not everyone enjoys staying in a hotel. Some people want to experience life as a local. You can easily do this because there are so many other places to stay.

It is always a great idea to go out on a boat. It is especially a real treat to go on a sunset cruise. People enjoy swimming in these waters. You will be taken out in the boat and stop off at a perfect spot where you can take advantage of the warm waters. Swimming in the hot springs is particularly a different experience that is unique.

Like all food in Greece, the cuisine is spectacular. Santorini is no different. However, you really have to know what you are eating. You have to soak it all in and you have to go to the right places. There are tours for you to have this experience. These are popular, as one may expect. Maybe something even better, though is to make the food yourself.

This island can be explored in a day or two. But many people just want to absorb it all in. They want to soak in the atmosphere. You don't want to lose that because it is not only the volcano that is worth seeing, but also the people who are hospitable and friendly. Just by walking along the cobbled footpaths, you will pass ancient ruins. You can almost think that you are going back to the times of old.

There are also great options in terms of accommodation. There are hotels where you are served in style, but then again you have to look at your budget. These can be fairly pricey, and not everyone wants to stay in a classy hotel. Some people will opt for some of the ancient bungalows which will suit your budget and can be absolutely charming.
