Ask yourself if you are traveling because you want to see a beautiful place or if you want to experience a different culture. Maybe you want to see something that you cannot see in your own place or taste food that you cannot get your mouth on wherever you are. One could also travel because they want to go to a place that is culturally and historically rich. For people like these who want to learn a lot about history and find out for themselves and experience that historical time period, there is no better place to visit than Greece. Greece is a truly remarkable place when it comes to history. The country boasts of being there in the very beginning of history when civilization just started. It was said that civilization started in Crete, where the first Minoan civilization was first recorded. Crete is known for being the site of the early Minoans and had great structures built there for their royalty. There are other sites however where the Minoans settled and the most famous of these other islands is Santorini.

Santorini is also a beautiful and bountiful island. This is perhaps the reason why people first chose to settle in this island. The island group of Santorini is what is left of one of the most famous volcanic explosions in history. The area is a volcanically active area and when the volcano exploded, the island group of Santorini is what is left. This however made the land very fertile because of all its earthly minerals. There are many fruit bearing trees and beautiful flowers that highlight the landscape. There is a central lagoon which is enclosed by cliffs. The air is fresh because of the wonderful flora and in some way, one can sense the power of Santorini as a volcanic area. The climate in Santorini is also wonderful. It is very much conducive to learning and traveling. People are able to make the most of their stay because the weather allows them to do what they want. In this sense, Santorini is truly a traveler’s dream.
