More than 17.5 million people choose Greece as a vacation spot each year and out of that number around 6 million visited its capital, the city of Athens. Whether you’re considering Greece as a vacation spot already or if you need a little persuading, take a look at these top 15 things to do once you’re there.

Visit Santorini Island

Make it mandatory in your Greece trip to take a journey to this beautiful isle by boat. Officially known as the Santorini caldera, this island cluster is located in the southern Aegean Sea. It is comprised of Santorini (Thera), which is the main island that has the isles of Therasia and Aspronisi across from it, the Kameni island are in the center.

The main island is a beautiful crescent shape that was formed by years of volcanic activity and all who visit have said that the view when approaching by boat is nothing short of breath-taking. While you’re there, you’ll be treated to gorgeous views from cliffs overlooking the ocean as well as some delicious food.

Santorini has gained worldwide recognition for some of the greatest agricultural products to come out of Greece, meaning that any visit there is sure to provide you with a variety of delicious foods to eat. The cherry tomatoe has been widely grown as well as marketed since the 18th century and is in one of the island’s signature dishes called tomato balls.

Tomato balls are comprised of an onion and tomato paste that occasionally has mint as well as cheese added to the mixture then it is fried into a ball shape. A variety of eggplant grows here too, the white aubergine. It is sweeter and juicier than other varieties of the vegetable due to the features of the soil. The katsouni, a tasty type of cucumber, is grown here as well.
