Things to do in Charaki

As evening falls in Santorini, tourists have already found their vantage points, sitting or standing quietly, waiting. The once bustling paths gradually empty out, the crowds converging on the cliff edge, becoming the first fixed scene before sunset. Standing on the steps of the blue and white houses, watching the sunset transform the sky from orange-pink to golden-red, then slowly into a golden hue, the town itself seems draped in a golden veil, so beautiful it makes you forget everything. Finally, the entire sunset glow sinks into the Aegean Sea, even the surface is covered with shimmering gold, the wind carries the light scent of sea salt and olive trees, there is no noise, only the sound of the waves lapping the shore, slowing down along with the light and shadow.

Beautiful renovations and completion of the restored mosaics at the Grand Masters Palace. I was very pleased to see the archeological site set up from Kos. The streets are alive again. Beautiful shops from Hand made leather coats to souveniers. Restaurant are open from basic street food to fine dining and wine tasting.

We experienced a comfortable tour for 3 days on the beautiful island. We drove to a lot of scenery. It was very easy to rent a car or scooter. Then you can go anywhere more convenient. Finally It was very unforgettable journey ☺️

The Old Port of Rhodes seems to have frozen in time. It still retains the style of the Ottoman Empire. The pier is still in use, and there are people everywhere. The buildings are still hundreds of years old, and the blue sky and blue sea are still the same as they have been for thousands of years.

If Santorini is a business card of Greece, then the blue-domed church should be the business card of Santorini, because at some point it was on the cover of National Geographic Magazine, and thus became a globally known attraction. What’s more coincidental is that this attraction is so simple and straightforward that it’s almost otherworldly. You don’t need high-level photography skills or think about angles. Just the “click” at the entrance is the undisputed best of the day.

There is also a cliff hotel view, but the view is worse than that of Oia town. There are many small shops and a strong commercial atmosphere. The roads are very narrow. If you encounter cruise ship passengers, you have to queue when walking.

The red of nature differs from the imagined vibrant red, but the red from this volcanic eruption is still breathtaking. The journey from the parking lot to the red beach is a bit challenging, about a 10-minute hike up a mountain path or where there's no path at all. Those who enjoy a challenge will appreciate it, marveling at the wonders of nature. I'm grateful for my taxi driver's patient service; as a local, he could tell many local stories, and his price was reasonable. At my request, we even stopped along the way to photograph the grapevine basket—a unique way of wintering grapevines in Santorini. You can contact him if you need a ride.

The 200-meter-long and 4-meter-wide Knights Avenue is located in the north of the ancient city of Rhodes. The whole street is high in the west and low in the east. The doors and windows on both sides of the street are arched, authentic medieval buildings. They used to be the palaces and knight inns of the leaders of the knight corps of different languages. From bottom to top, they are the garrisons of the Italian, French and Spanish corps. Walking on this avenue and closing your eyes, you can imagine the scene of the knights in the Middle Ages marching through the street in a team. At the top of the avenue is the palace of the leader of the knight corps, and opposite the bottom is a church old lady of castle. The restored vault is worth seeing. The basically empty avenue is a unique sight after the new crown.
