Όπως έχει αναφερθεί σε αρκετές προηγούμενες αναρτήσεις της σελίδας, δεκάδες είναι το φετινό καλοκαίρι τα δημοσιεύματα, οι αναρτήσεις, τα κείμενα και τα φωτορεπορτάζ ταξιδιωτών και επισκεπτών του νησιού από χώρες του εξωτερικού που κυριολεκτικά υμνούν το νησί, τις υπηρεσίες φιλοξενίας και την ομορφιά του.

Μερικά ακόμη είναι αυτά της δημοσιογράφου του διεθνούς ταξιδιωτικού ρεπορτάζ Leora Novick η οποία υμνεί με τις όμορφες φωτογραφίες και τα καλογραμμένα κείμενά της, την Σαντορίνη.

A Day Trip To Oia, Santorini, Greece: What Not To Miss

While I thoroughly recommend spending as much time as possible in Santorini, sometimes all you have is the option of one day. If you find yourself island hopping throughout Greece, here is your itinerary for exploring Oia, on the island of Santorini.

1. Swimming in Amoudi Bay
Start your day with a cool dip in Amoudi Bay. The walk down to the water will leave you hot and sweaty and ready to enjoy all that Santorini has to offer-including a cliff dive! The path to the bay is a bit tricky, with a rocky path and narrow drops, but it makes the arrival all the more enjoyable as you take in the rising volcanic cliffs from below.
2. Taking a donkey ride back up
After all that activity you are going to be a bit tired, so spare your legs and rent a donkey to carry you up the sharp incline. You'll be able to enjoy the surrounding views without dodging the donkey droppings that line the stone stairs. Just make sure to hold on tight, and try to breathe through your mouth.
3. Lolita's Gelato
Although you may be expecting Italy to be the leader of Gelato, this Greek Yogurt based confection is truly unmissable. Try the Greek Viagra for a yogurt/honey confection that will have you coming back a few hours later for another taste. Enjoy in their soothing all white courtyard, or lick this sticky street as you stroll through the winding streets.
4. Perissa Black Sand Beach
Home to white, red, and black sand beaches, the seaside views in Santorini are each unique and breathtaking at once. Since the island is made of volcanic rock, it's black sand beaches are a definitely unmissable emblem. Head to Perissa beach for a sea of striped chaises and straw umbrellas. Hungry? Walk to the end of the beach to Afros, where the welcoming owner will let you point and pick your fish of choice.
5. Photo Break
Lets admit it, one of the main reasons you came to Greece was for the killer Instagram photos. Save some time to just wander the island, camera or iPhone in hand. The light changes the island's color, bathing its white stones in a soft warm glow, but the finale of sunset is a showstopper. An endless sea of reds, pinks, and yellows dance across the sky, providing a gorgeous burst of color against the white and blue of the island.
6. Dinner with a sunset view
During the peak tourist season it's advisable to make a reservation if you are looking for a meal with a view. Ask for the window seats to enjoy the sunset with a glass of ouzo and a taste of tzatziki.

Santorini, Greece: A Photo Journey  2014-07-23 08.44.13

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but the vistas of Santorini, Greece truly left me speechless. From the brightest blues of the Mediterranean to the rough hewn edges of the volcanic island, the colors and textures of Santorini made for the postcard perfect views from every angle. I had to restrain myself from spending my entire trip peering out from behind my camera lens. Instead, I forced myself to take some time to just sit, be in the moment, and enjoy the searingly beautiful view on my own.

Planning an International Bachelorette Trip? Santorini, Greece Inspiration Here
Posted: 08/19/2014 2:05 pm EDT Updated: 08/19/2014 2:59 pm EDT

Every time I visit a new country there is usually a different reason behind that particular place. Sometimes I am sent on a press trip, other times I chose it for its affordable flights and beautiful views, and sometimes I visit places because of happy events. My recent trip to Santorini, Greece was to celebrate the upcoming wedding of a dear friend in a fabulous European bachelorette weekend.
With Santorini providing the most magnificent backdrop, we decided to create photos and memories that we would never forget. For the actual bachelorette night, all of us bridesmaids donned white dresses and flower crowns, a la Tatiana Santo Domingo's celebration, while the bride to be stood out in pink. Then, to capture the moment in editorial worthy images we brought along a photographer to help our many iPhones get a rest from the postcard views and memories being made.
