Santorini, Greece

Forged from a volcanic explosion, Santorini sits in the southern Aegean sea. This sun-soaked island is famous for its blue-domed churches and fabulous white buildings. But there is much more to this classic island paradise besides just architecture. The red and black sandy beaches enhance its beauty and are a perfect resting place for weary travelers. Santorini has a reputation for being very expensive but it’s well worth the cost for the trip of a lifetime.
