Why Should You Visit the Island of Santorini?

Why Should You Visit the Island of Santorini?
by Susan Gerle

There are some places on this earth that you really can’t explain to others easily. You actually have to experience it.  Santorini, one of the Greek Islands, is such a place.  I’m sure some people would disagree with me if they see it on a day filled with cruise ship tourists.  I was lucky enough to see the quiet side when attending my daughter’s marriage.

The island of Santorini, Greece (or Thira - the original name) is a magical place built mostly on cliffs overlooking a hidden bubbling volcanic caldron. The island is small and a person can walk from one end to the other in approximately four hours.
