This Greek island is on the bucket list of almost every traveller the world over. It is literally perched on the cliff edge, and boasts captivating sunsets, tiny white houses, blue-domed churches, the smallest cherry tomatoes and unique wine varieties. We are of course referring to Santorini, the island in the Cyclades that has managed to capture the hearts of even the most demanding travellers.<\/p>\n
Wherever you walk, wherever you look, the island gives you a reason to grab your camera or your mobile phone and capture the moment. You’ll want to take pictures of the sunset, the pure white side streets, the pink bougainvillea nestled against a blue window, an old bicycle leaning against a white wall, a belfry overlooking the sea. Everything around you is a reason to take a picture.<\/p>\n
Since Santorini is very crowded, the secret to taking pictures is to avoid mornings and evenings. So set your alarm to somewhere between 5 and 7 and you’ll be able to capture the colours of the sunrise while everyone else is asleep. However, if you’re not a morning person, try going for a walk between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, when most people are enjoying their lunch or taking a nap.<\/p>\n
But which are the most instagrammable places, and how can you find them?<\/p>\n
Oia<\/strong><\/p>\n The church of the Resurrection<\/strong><\/p>\n Starting in the well-known village of Oia, the best spot for a perfect photo is the church of the Resurrection, with its pink belfry. There is a tiny side street just before the Melenio caf\u00e9: follow it and you’ll find yourself in front of a small wooden door that will take you out above the church. This is the best spot to take pictures<\/p>\n\n
