Santorini in Greece

  This time, my blog posting is about Santorini. You may not hear name “Santorini”. But you certainly saw Santorini at some period or other. I agree with this fact.

 

 Santorini is one of the best tourist attractions. Santorini is familiar to us because we often see Santorini through many movie and TV CF etc. I also saw Santorini in TV many times. On all such occasions, I want to go Santorini. For example, in Movie “Mamma Mia!”, Santorini appear. Santorini is composed of five islands and is located in the most southeast part of the Cyclades.

 

   In order to go santorini, we have to get on a plane or take a ship, After arrive at Santorini, we will admire Santorini's scenery. There are many houses that are so closely spaced and have white of a waterish blue roof. The strong contrast of magnificent nature spaced and white houses is very impressive. And the sunsets in Santorini is also said to be the most beautiful in the world. So Santorini Island is very popular among honeymooners and vacationers.

 

  Shiny residential area at top of island is ‘Fira’ street. In order to climb island, people have to go up the island by cable car. Or people can ride a donkey. Or people can walk up the stairs. But it is very very hard work.

  In Europe, people say the island as “Santorini”, but in Greece, people say this island as “Tira”. In this island, people live on from ancient Rome. So Cyclades civilization remains until now. Cyclades civilization is older than Minoa civilization of Crete Island that is well known to us. It is very amazing civilization. But this civilization disappeared as slick as nothing at all. So people guess this island as Atlantis that fantasy continent.

 Santorini is very interesting island that have legend and beautiful scenery. So I want to go there some time or other.
