Santorini
The peak tourist season in Greece is from June to October. Due to the unique Mediterranean climate, Greece and its surrounding islands can be quite humid. In addition to beautiful summer clothes, it is recommended to bring some long pants, shawls, vests, and similar items.
"Ancient Greek mythology can be understood through numerous temples, but the exquisite Greek charm can only be experienced by traveling the Aegean Sea. The blue-and-white Santorini is the land of freedom described by Plato, where one can witness the most beautiful sunset in the world. The windmill kingdom of Mykonos is perfect for a vacation; besides enjoying the sea view, one might as well sit in an open-air café by the Aegean Sea, sipping the local 'Frappé' coffee while indulging in the leisurely time."
The romantic Aegean Sea, the azure sky, the white houses, the world's most beautiful sunset... Greece has every reason to make one intoxicated. In recent years, Greece has become one of the popular travel destinations for Chinese tourists. From general sightseeing to in-depth single-country tours, people are seeking a deeper quality of travel. To welcome the upcoming summer peak season, Nanhu International Travel Service & Western Holidays has launched its first in-depth tour of Greece. Beyond enjoying the most beautiful scenery, the itinerary allows travelers to experience the local relaxed and leisurely attitude toward life, learning how to slowly enjoy life.
"Greece has been praised as 'a place that has used up all the blue in the world.' And the small Greek islands are classified as a 'paradise on earth.' I feel that Greece is like a floating myth, a habitat for the spiritual and material ideals of every traveler in the world. Ancient ruins are everywhere, and seafood seasoned with olive oil is simply irresistible. If I had to mention the most impressive place, it would be Santorini. Upon checking into a hotel on the island, you can see the sea view as soon as you open the window. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best place in the world to watch the sunrise and sunset; the hotel even provides the best sunrise times every day."
Greece is a place that can calm one's mind. Surrounded by the sea and with few people, it is exceptionally tranquil, and the islanders are very kind and approachable. My favorite thing to do whenever I come here is to find a café by the sea, order a cup of coffee, and then just stare at the sea, listening to the sound of the waves, letting my mind go blank. Believe me, almost everyone who comes here will be completely relaxed. Another charming town on the island, Oia, is said to have the most beautiful scenery in all of Greece and is an artist's paradise. In the evening, coming to the cliffs of Oia, you can capture the most classic white chapel, set against the beautiful scenery of the blue Aegean Sea and the most romantic 'sunset over the Aegean Sea.'
Driving around various parts of Greece is also a lot of fun. Before going abroad, you can have your domestic driver's license notarized and translated into English at a notary office, and then you can rent a car on the island to go wherever you want, exploring this most beautiful island in the world in your own preferred way. I remember a very interesting group I led before; after checking into a villa-style hotel, a large group of them rented a car to go to the supermarket to buy groceries and returned to the villa to cook for themselves. It cost only about a dozen Euros per person, and the food was excellent, especially when using Chinese cooking methods for Western ingredients—the taste was very unique."
