Travelling - Part of Life


For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” – Robert Louis Stevenson.

Top Places To Visit In the World 

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do,” Mark Twain once mused. “So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” We couldn't have said it better ourselves. There’s an entire awe-inspiring world out there to see and experience.
Rather than stay home and dream of what might have been, unearth that passport and get going.

Santorini, classically Thera, and officially Thira, is an island in 
the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km southeast of Greece's mainland. Santorini (Fira) is a magical Greek island enveloped in mystery and charm. Often referred to as the “crown jewel of Greece,” Santorini continues to be one of the most popular destinations in the country, becoming one of the world’s top honeymoon spots. Santorini has some of the most unique geographical characteristics of any other island in the world – it was literally formed by a series of catastrophic volcanic explosions over the course of thousands of years. The result is a wonderland of steep cliffs, ebony volcanic rocks and mesmerizing ocean views.

Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera.

It is the most active volcanic center in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, though what remains today is chiefly a water-filled caldera. The volcanic arc is approximately 500 km  long and 20 to 40 km wide. The region first became volcanic ally active around 3–4 million years ago
