CNN published a long article on August 16, entitled \u201cWhich Greek island should you go to?\u201d<\/strong> presenting in detail nine Greek islands<\/strong> and giving information on where to stay and where to eat.<\/p>\n

Guess which came first!!<\/p>\n

According to CNN, the number of 1,400 islands in Greece, 230 of which are inhabited, is one of the Mediterranean\u2019s most beautiful assets. From the Ionian islands till Albania in the northwest, to the Dodecanese, near Turkey in the southeast, they offer unique vacations.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach of the island groups has its unique allure, plus some of the most picturesque seascapes on Earth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut for sheer variety in a small radius, proximity to Athens\u2019 ferry port in Piraeus and the best inter-island boat connections, none compete with the Cyclades,\u201d the article reports, presenting the top nine islands in and around the Cyclades.<\/p>\n

Best scenery: Santorini<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe story behind this island is the stuff of legends \u2014 in 1600 BC after a volcano erupted and its center collapsed into the sea, it left behind parts of its caldera that today form the island Santorini,\u201d the article mentions, praising the island\u2019s views.<\/p>\n

CNN describes the island: \u201cSheer rock faces are striated in multitudinous shades, villages and towns cling to the tops of cliffs, the caldera is filled with clear deep turquoise water home to the occasional cruise liner. The whitewashed buildings in the main town Fira resemble a fresh blanket of snow atop a mountain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And it continues: \u201cOn the northern tip, at Oia, where the sunsets are outstanding, houses, hotels and churches tumble down the rock walls.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The article also describes Santorini\u2019s beaches, Red Beach, Eros Beach and Caldera Beach.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
