There are many small villages in Santorini with small streets and tradiotnal Greek taverns where you can try delicious dishes of local cuisine.

Kyoto, Japan
Kyoto is famous for its picturesque shrines, geisha districts, wooden houses, and gardens on lakes, hills, and streams. Kyoto’s traditional atmosphere is enjoyed in cherry blossom season when pink blossoms align the sidewalks. Similarly, people go to Kyoto for the fall foliage when the trees turn red, orange, and yellow. Like Johannesburg, Kyoto has a few exciting attractions, my favorite of which is Fushimi Inari Shrine with its several thousand red torii gates.
The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove will also offer you some beautiful sights, with massive bamboo stalks to surround you amid the calm. Other tea houses in Kyoto can also allow you to enjoy a tea ceremony in the Japanese way. In summary, Kyoto has a certain historical culture, with its ancient temples and beautiful gardens to show you something that Japan had ever had.
