There's this tiny island in the Meditteranean sea, you see.
It's part of the Cyclades chain of Greek Isles.
The name of this place is Thira. But it's more commonly known to everyone as Santorini.
And standing high atop a seaside cliff, looking out at the Caldera from amidst white-washed houses and white churches with blue-domed roofs, I realized that of all of the places I've seen, Oia, Santorini is the most beautiful place I've ever been. And quite possibly will ever be. It's beautiful in both look, and in feel. It's Just stunning, absolutely perfect.
You may be tempted to scoff. You may think I've simply jumped on the bandwagon of people who've fallen (predictably) for Greece. You'd be right about the latter, wrong to do the former.
Whatever you may think, go. Go and look out at the Caldera. Watch the sun set over the sea, enjoy the artwork, the history and the magic of Greece. And then you'll understand, too.

I'm not a hard sell - Greece, here I come!
