It's got vineyards to wine taste, volcanoes, and amazing day tours and agencies offer cruises around Greece. Santorini is on the top of my bucket list to visit. Just seeing it’s beautiful architecture alone is enough but its amazing sandy shores and beach views are amazing. This island would be an amazing experience for you alone but It also seems like the perfect couple vacation. You and your significant other could have a wonderful romantic getaway. I also think it's a prime honeymoon spot. If this place seems intriguing just wait until you see it's mostly affordable prices.
