Sphinx Restaurant, Santorini

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

...makes 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. Very touristic, you have to be quick catching a bus there. - Thira: It's almost impossible not to go there. It is the center of Santorini. Many restaurants, giftshops, the view is very 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). I was taken in at once by the islands' superbly natural wild beauty. Whilst on the island I stayed in the main town of Thira, and was enchanted by the numerous cobbled narrow streets enclosing hundreds of restaurants, cafes and bars, all set at the edge of the cliff. The sunset at Ioa was incredible.... A must for any island hopper....... Read review
