Lost City of Atlantis – Santorini Greece..What do your think?

What do you think???
In 1960, while excavating, they discovered some evidence thet the legendary Atlantis, might actually be Santorini per Plato’s description. With the eruption of Thera, which caused a tsunami it was destroyed. Even if it isn’t Atlantis, Santorini is certainly amazing and a must see!
Some musts when traveling to Santorini “Thira”; First and foremost…. is viewing the sunset in Oia. Santorini is known for having the most amazing sunsets and believe me, I was not disappointed. Santorini is the typical Greek Island with the beautiful white buildings with the blue roofs best viewed on a boat trip around the island. Here you will get the most beautiful view of Santoini and its buildings and my favorite, the windmills. The boat will even take you over to the caldera where you can swim in the hot springs or just walk on the hot rocks. Also a must while you are there is rent an ATV and enjoy the island. I was afraid at first because the buses are crazy, but when I saw a bus coming up behind me I would pull over to let them pass instead of taking the chance of being run off the road. We went to ancient Thira and were able to ride all the way to the top. There is a cave on the way up that I would suggest not to miss, with a spring inside. Also a must is their beautiful red beach. It is one of the most popular, so it gets crowded. Most people just go to see it and never actually climb down to enjoy, which due to time, is what we did. I would suggest taking the time and enjoying the beauty of it. They also have a white beach and the famous gorgeous black beach of Kamari, which you will find at the foot of Ancient Thira.
Many movies were filmed here, such as Tomb raider’s Cradle of life. where in the movie an earthquake opened up the lost city of Atlantis.
Jules Vernes, “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” and “The mysterious island” Vernes came to Santorini during the major eruptions of 1866 – 1870 and wrote his book just after it.
Santorini is ranked as the top island in Europe, and it is one of the top wedding destinations in the entire world, that really is saying something!!!
It is one of the once in a life time must see destinations of the world!
