Greece,Santorini

I bet everyone have in their mind the top ten dream places they wish to go. I would like to share with you the first place that I wanted to go so much in the coming future. It is Santorini! It has another name that the Chinese call the 'Sea of Love'. It is one of the famous spots for the newlyweds because Santorini is the perfect place for pre-wedding photo shooting, the wedding ceremony itself and even for honeymoon. I guess it would be everyone's dream to have their wedding ceremony here!

So, why Santorini?

Okay, in case you do not know how Santorini looks like, I have already uploaded a couple of pictures here to show you the breathtaking scenery of its town area and sea view.

Santorini is actually a volcanic island, it is located just 200 km off the Greece mainland. What attracted me the most about this island is its beautiful sunset and buildings. In Santorini, you might not be seeing the usual sunset colors which are either yellowish or dark orange, yet you will encounter an unusually beautiful sunset which is something similar to pinkish purple.

Before reaching Santorini, you can drop by Athens to visit some famous places and try some of its awesome food. Along Athens' streets, you can see many stalls selling sesame donuts. They are like everywhere around the city! The donuts are called kalouri. They are extremely cheap as each of them will only cost no more than RM 1. 

There are many ways to Santorini from Athens, by flight or ferries. How to go to Santorini

However, if you are looking for cheaper accommodation, you can actually take a brief 20 minutes walk out of Santorini and you will find yourself plenty of affordable hotels. 

In Santorini, most of the hotels are using white and blue colour as the main theme in their rooms. White and blue colour are actually the traditional colour in the island and they are especially ideal for weddings and parties. You will not regret staying here because the facilities are in perfectly good orders and the price is quite reasonable too.
