There’s one thing particular about Greece – the ocean is only a completely different color blue there. The meals is brisker than you’ll attempt elsewhere, and there’s a lot to see and do, there’s an excellent probability you’ll by no means wish to go away. With journey has slowed down for almost all of us the previous few years, many people have itchy ft and need to e-book our subsequent journeys. Mykonos and Santorini may very well be the proper vacation spot so that you can go to, and right here’s why:
1. Wonderful Seashores
Greece is world recognized for having unbelievable seashores, and whereas many will say that Mykonos seashores are higher than Santorini, the reality is each islands have among the world’s greatest. Platis Gialos Seaside on Mykonos might be the preferred, solely 5km from the town heart and it has all the things you’d need for a stupendous day on the seashore; golden yellow sand and vibrant blue water. Lots of Santorini’s seashores are pebble or stony, which makes Kamari seashore particular as a result of it has golden brown sand. End up some luxurious villas in Mykonos and begin reserving your flights, as a result of I do know you’ll have a beautiful journey right here.
2. World Class Vineyards
Whereas each islands are residence to some scrumptious vineyards, you’ll discover much more selection on Santorini. Because of the dimension of Santorini, you’ve two choices: you possibly can go on a day tour of some wineries – the excursions will choose you up out of your resort and take you to quite a lot of vineyards, or you possibly can hire a villa in Santorini and a automotive and make your individual method round. Both choice can be numerous enjoyable, and simply relies upon how assured you are feeling renting a automotive and making your individual method across the island. Whereas Mykonos has some vineyards you possibly can go to, the placing landscapes of Santorini make it a more sensible choice for my part.
3. Mountaineering
There are fairly a couple of nice walks you are able to do on Santorini, however maybe the very best factor you are able to do on all the island is the Fira to Oia stroll. It takes round two to 5 hours relying in your strolling velocity and what number of stops you make alongside the best way. The vast majority of the stroll is effectively paved, however there are areas which can be a bit looser and others which can be cobblestone-like. You’ll want to deliver numerous water with you as there’s not a lot in the best way of shops alongside the route. I personally selected to stroll a method and took a vacationer again for the return journey. Mykonos can also be residence to some beautiful strolling trails, such because the 5 mile Mykonos Coastal Path, however the stroll from Fira to Oia is a kind of ‘bucket checklist adventures.’
Each islands have a lot to supply, I believe it’s price visiting each in the event you can. Simply be warned, it could be rather a lot tougher leaving than you’d count on!
