3. Santorini, Greece

How can a list of spectacular Islands be complete without Santorini! Santorini is actually an active volcano perched in the sea. With amazing architecture and velvety wine it makes for a romantic holiday destination. The orange and golden rays of the setting sun kissing the snow coloured houses hanging from the cliffs in an uncannily fine-tuned rhythm is like a poem by nature. A traveler cannot help but wonder what it would be like to live here forever!
