Spectacular Santorini

Today was our third day in Santorini and I think I speak for everyone when I say it was an absolute blast! Most of us decided to explore the unique beaches of the island. The first one we went to was the Red Beach. We arrived by bus and had to hike for about five minutes to actually get to the area. The red, rocky beach was surrounded by immense reddish brown cliffs – quite different from what we normally see! After a couple of hours in the hot sun and swimming in the refreshing ocean, our group decided to explore other parts of the island. Some of us went to the local wineries, and others (including myself) went to Kamari, the Black Beach, to spend the rest of the day. This was by far my favorite beach. The pristine black pebble beach was bordered by quaint little outdoor restaurants and cute shops selling jewelry, clothes, souvenirs, etc. The best part of this beach are the cliffs that line the edge of the beach – perfect for cliff jumping! In light of that, a few friends and I made our way over to the jagged cliffs to try it out for ourselves. Surprisingly, it was quite scary! With the encouragement of a few locals, we jumped off the edge into the crystal clear, emerald – blue sea. After doing our adventurous activity for the day, we laid on the beach for some time just enjoying the sun and one of our last days together. What a wonderful last day in Santorini! Tonight should be amazing as well…we can’t wait to get it started!
