GREECE - Santorini Round Island Tour

DSCF8583
Santorini or Thira is a famous Greek island located in the southern Aegean Sea. It was the core of an ancient volcano that erupted in about 1640 – 1620 BC. A large part of it collapsed after an enormous volcanic eruption, creating the current caldera. Today I’m going for a round-island tour to visit various attractions in Santorini including Wine Museum, Prehistoric town of Akrotiri, Red Beach, lighthouse, Firostefani, Imerovigli and lastly stop at Oia where I’ll be spending the night.

My trip in Croatia lasted 10 days and I had many fond memories in Croatia. Croatia is a country that has a lot to offer: from charming European cities and grand fortifications to wonderful nature and beaches. Its capital city is Zagreb. Croatia’s Adriatic Sea coast contains more than 1,000 islands. Hvar Island is one of the most popular islands in Croatia.

For centuries, Dubrovnik has been an autonomous and neutral state –  until 1808, when Napoleon’s general de Marmont abolished the republic. The former city-republic of Dubrovnik stands on the coast of South Dalmatia. Its ancient city walls in the fifteenth century, surround and protect a wonderfully preserved historic city centre that has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979.
