What is my first impression from Santorini? Strange, black, burnt island. Very little to do stay on the beach and eat in the Greek taverns. Well it wasn't like that at all. I came to visit and I end up staying for a summer then getting married and leaving here for the last 8 years. It is still a strange little island but now doesn't look bad to me. Some local people think that Atlantis was berried here close to the shore. Few years ago they even got a small submarine looking for it. There are many things that you could do in Santorini like water sports, diving, clubbing. You can get certified diver and explore the caldera site of the island which is really very unique. The food is great. You have to be very careful and watch your weight because the food is delicious. The traditional places to eat in Greece are the taverns. When in the tavern you may start with saganaki (fried cheese) usually made of "kefalotiry" but i will get in details latter. Then a tzatziki (yogurt, garlic, cucumber and dill with olive oil), continue with horiatiki (Greek salad) and barbounia (red mullet). For dessert you may have many option but my favorite is baklava (cinnamon pastry with walnuts and honey). There so many choices that it is difficult to keep in shape.
