5. Oia, Greece
Situated on the steep coast of volcanic island Santorini, Oia serves as an association for Greece. The beauty that its small white and blue houses present cannot be explained. Therefore, wander through its tiny streets and try out gyros or souvlaki. Rent a scooter and visit ancient monuments and unique sandy beaches. Since Oia is the most photographed place in Greece, you should not lack inspiration either. It is said that Santorini’s sunsets are heart-stopping, so don’t miss the panoramic view on Oia while the Sun is going down.

White sand beaches, turquoise color of the ocean and coconut palm trees make this country one of the most romantic destinations. But, these 322 islands have much more to offer.
