Archaeological Museum of Pre-Historic Thira, Santorini

Advantages: beautiful scenary, black sand, Aegean sea, Vulcano, rich history
Disadvantages: bus connections

...the whole beach look really beautiful. Warning though, the waves can be annoying for those who don't like it and the water is very dirty!!! If you want un umbrella and a chair, you have to pay for it, but what you'll get is another story. - Oia: Many claim that in Oia there is the most beautiful sunset in the world. I can't guarantee for that since it wasn't visable the day I was there. The place was really nice.

...During my recent trip to Greece I had the pleasure of visiting Santorini. At first sight when you enter the bay area you are surrounded by huge cliffs of volcanic matter with a central island(actually a still active volcano).
