Travel & Leisure: Santorini among the 50 best destinations in the world for romantic getaways in 2022

Just before the end of 2021, the major American travel magazine Travel & Leisure published on its website the 50 best destinations for romantic getaways in 2022. “Whether you’re celebrating your honeymoon or just looking to escape with your partner, these are the 50 most romantic getaways around the world”, it reads.

On the list, along with the hills of Tuscany, the winter resorts of Colorado and places we don’t necessarily associate with romance, such as the Galapagos Islands, there is a Greek island. Santorini.

The fact that this island was included in the list is not surprising. Santorini has been established for several decades in the (global) travel consciousness as a romantic (and not only) destination. Thousands of couples from all over the world choose the Cycladic island every year to get married, while Oia’s sunset is one of the most Instagrammable places on the planet.

“This magical island is known as the most romantic in Greece, with turquoise waters, whitewashed houses sitting on cliffs, and beautiful beaches”, notes Travel & Leisure and continues, “While you’re here, go for a hike the on the Fira trail for beautiful views, take in the sunset in Oia, and explore the black-sand beach”.
