Advantages: It must be the most photogenic place on the island. Disadvantages: Can be exspensive but you can visit for the day.
If you are on holiday on the island of Santorini it is likely that you will be tempted to vist the town of Ia which is famous especially for it's sunsets. Picturesque white and blue houses are built into the rock that overlooks the Caldera; this is an expanse of water formed in the past by the island volcanic activity. Cruise ships sail into the Caldera to view the attractive town,and the colured rock formations (cliffs) that have been created by the erruptions of the volcano and also to allow their passengers to vist the town. Restaurants, hotels, houses and hoilday properties are situated (perched on the cliff face) to take advantage of the view of the sunset over the Caldera.

Advantages: Nice Crisp Taste Disadvantages: Can get you drunk very quickly
So its the first time you walked into a pub, your still 16 and faced the bar trying to make up your mind about what to drink. Then something suddenly hits you that maybe you should try Stella it sounds cool. That first decision came 4 years ago in a pub that no longer bears the same name, however unlike the pub my drinking habits haven't changed dramatically.
One of Belgium's more famous beer exports Stella has been around since 1717 when Sebastian Artois bought the Duchy of Leuven Brewery in Den Horen and originally started brewing Stella.
