Santorini, Greece.









Santorini is an island, situated in the southern Aegean Sea, southeast from Greece's mainland. The island is so famous and known because of its beautiful views, the awesome sunsets and the naturrally fantastic beaches such as the beach of Perissa, maybe the best beach in Santorini, the black pebble beach of Kamari, white and red beach. 
This city is a volcanic island and a beutiful place to visit.
Santorini, has 3 very active volcanoes, The New burn Island, and the old burn Island which is in from of the capital of Santorini Fira in the middle of the ocean.The name of the third is Columbus  and is in the erea of Oia Village. The destructive volcanic eruption of Santorini has become the most famous single event in the Aegean before the fall of Troy. The eruption would likely have caused a considerable climate change for the eastern Mediterranean region. 
It was one of the hugest volcanic eruptions on Earth in the last few thousand years. When the volcano erupted, about 1650 BC, it is said to have produced tidal waves in excess of 200 metres which were sent hitting the northern coast of Crete, causing a violent devastation. Earthquakes were activated and the ash and debris obstructed the skies.
The island is perfect for relaxing and have a nice experience, enjoying the mediterranean climate, the food and the beaches. It is a nice place for travel on your own or with family.
Santorini could be called a little heaven on earth.

The town, with its population of just under 14,000, is one of the majortourist attractions in the region. Despite its size, every year it attracts millions of tourists from all parts of Sicily and also, from all over Italy and Europe. 

Celafú is clearly a haven of tranquility, a refuge, and a sanctuary of religious inspiration. As well as it's incredible beaches, Celafú has also a incredibly beautiful cathedral, which is situated just by the sea. 
Legend tells that Roger II, the well-known Norman sovereign of Sicily, in gratitude to God for sparing his life in a violent storm at sea, commissioned the building of a grand Cathedral at Cefalù, where he landed after the tempest.
Its characteristics, as well as its position, so close to the sea, make it something of a fortress from the outside as much as it is a church on the inside.
All in all, this small city collects all the requirements to be a little heaven on earth.
