Santorini
The place where, as people say, the Atlantis was located. The place which has literally “black” and “white” sides. The place where simultaneously exist crowds of tourists and things that can make you feel comfortable and peaceful. All these things were said about Santorini. I do not want to make you go deeper into history, only to say that these lands at different times belonged to the Minoans, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Venetians, Turks and even Russians.Based on this information, it can be argued that the place is special due to the diverse culture and special atmosphere, and not just because of the “white houses”, however, one cannot but note that the houses are really beautiful.
The very atmosphere of the island made me once to create this account: I sensed that it would be something bigger than just a set of photos. I hope every follower enjoys the content and feels that I’m doing my best for the development of the page.
But first things first. What can Santorini offer you? Unreal contrast.The island is literally divided into “black” and “white” sides.

The beaches on the black side are so nice, that you are ready to spend almost all your free time there. Warm sea, beautiful white waves, black sand and nobody around — things that everyone who is reading this would be happy to feel. The advantage of black sand is that it warms up and remains hot until the dawn, so you are really able to stay at the beach for a long time.
The “White Side” can be divided into three parts: Fira, where the port is, where all the liners go, Oia, where the most beautiful sunset and Imerovigli — a quiet and cozy place.
Fira is a place where there are a lot of shops and bars, it seems that all the crews of all ships at the same time went out to the shore and filled the city with life.
Oia — a place that is full of tourists. At first you go thinking about why there are so many people, even when there is not tourist season. However, then you meet the sunset and realize that you are ready to endure all the queues and inconveniences of this place in order to see it again.
Having visited Imerovigli, you understand why people want to return to Santorini. Just imagine : you wake up at seven o’clock in the morning, the sun rises from the “black side” around many small cathedrals with blue roofs, bells, everything is white, the sun illuminates every home and, on the other hand, pours the island with yellow light, and when you go out, you see, as waiters are just beginning to carry food on the balconies — an unreal panorama.
Santorini is beautiful in all the aspects. You can even shoot hip-hop music video and it will consist special atmosphere. Don’t you believe me? Look how Rick Ross flexes here.
Tired of how I praise this place? Do you want to move there yourself, or at least see this beauty from the first person?No problem, these guys from the video shot off a great example of how you can join a dynamic excursion.
Enjoy the whole world with #gramnetwork . Thank you for your attention!
