For me, the ultimate romantic destination is not Venice nor Paris. It's not even Bali. For romantic getaways it has just to be Santorini, Greece.

Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands about 200 kilometers Southeast from Greece's mainland. Essentially, Santorini is what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion which destroyed the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single island, thereby leading to the creation of the current geological caldera.

In it's creation alone, the place is already exciting. It has one of the most spectacular landscapes in Greece and in the world. The places Thira and Oia should not be missed when in Santorini. Oia has the most famous and stunning sunsets in the whole word.

Hang on to your boyfriend or husband right this minute and plan your trip to Santorini already! It doesn't matter if you are staying for just a weekend or the whole week, it will surely be a lot of fun.
