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 want to take it easy here. Other people will get involved in the more adventurous activities. There are many of these around to keep you occupied and very busy. You can participate in some of the hiking trails. There are tours that will arrange this for you. It is helpful because they know the best routes.

Accommodation comes in the form of basic homes that have been standing for many years. The homes are in good condition and often you are hosted by very friendly and hospitable locals. They are not many local people who don't have this friendly nature. Some people decide to do things at their own pace. They may want to have a look around on their own. However, you won't have the same advantage as being on tour.

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.
