Santorini Highly Recommended Highly Recommended Highly Recommended : Michelin's recommendations

Santorini is the most spectacular of the Cyclades; arriving by boat in its ancient crater overwhelmed by the sea thousands of years ago is an unforgettable experience. The natural circle is surrounded by giant cliffs in a variety of hues resulting from their volcanic origin: black lava, purplish-grey ash, reddish clinker, and pale pumice. High above stand scarlet villages. The jumble of houses forming Thira and its surrounding hamlets is remarkable, on the edge of the caldera, which may be explored by boat.

    Pros

    L'arrivée en bateau au milieu de la caldera est tout à fait époustouflante.

    Cons

    L'île est vraiment trop touristique. Les promenades dans les rues et les moments à la plage sont ne sont pas agréables à cause de la foule. Les villages ont perdu tout leur charme, les rues ne sont remplies que de marchands de souvenirs et de cafés. A part l'arrivée en bateau qui il faut bien l'avouer est à voir, le reste n'a pas grand intérêt.
