A Must See Place

Pretty morbid title huh?! Well, I just want to pressure myself to always aim or aspire the best things in life. 'Coz I believe that it is a very effective way of motivating oneself. After all, the best things in life always are given to those who pursue them.

One of the most beautiful places that I have dreamed of going to is Santorini in Greece.

Santorini is a small circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea. The island name comes from ‘Santa Irini’ and it is officially called Thera. It is considered as one of the most popular destinations of Greece and is known as the home of one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.

You can’t help but admire the beautiful houses of the traditional villages of the Cyclades that surround the Caldera or the Volcano’s Crater which is situated in the middle of a 32 square miles basin of water (that's a lot of water). The houses that are all painted in white, are magnificently contrasted with blue roofs and windows that give the island a picturesque landscape that would leave anyone breathless. Just imagine yourself looking like Brad Pitt and being Achilles!!!

It is recommended that while residing in Santorini, you should visit Ancient Thira in Mesa Vouno meaning ‘the inside mountain’, the archaeological space of Akrotiri, the Archaeological and Folklore museums of the island. Santorini is famous for its vineyards and the varieties of wine; therefore you should also visit the museum of wine, while, simultaneously, you may sample wines, making sure to taste the ‘Visanto’. On top of these sites, sailing, scuba diving, going to restuarants (Greeks are know as excellent cooks) and the night life are some of the activities you might also like to consider.

As early as now, I have been searching at travel sites looking for great deals for plane tickets and accommodation for that dream trip to Santorini (nothing wrong to plan ahead for a trip scheduled 10 years from now).


Definitely one of the most beautiful landscapes to behold. Just the thought of going there fills me with energy, boost me up to strive even harder, to attract more positive things, to be in focus of my plans and goals, to be inspired.


So guys, see you in Santorini in a couple of years!!!!!!
