Santorini is THE island to go to in Greece because of those images...outside of the Acropolis, they're probably the most famous thing in Greece...and they are beautiful. The funny thing is, that for locals, Santorini sucks, because the nightlife's not that great, nor are the beaches. There are hundreds of greek islands...yet tourists always start at Santorini. All because of those churches on the cliffs (which, by the way, are only one small part of a relatively big island). Do one thing amazing, and you'll beat out Paros and Naxos and Ios and Corfu, even if they are more fun, because when people think of the Greek Islands, they think of Santorini, and white churches with blue domes. As Seth says...being the best in the world (or at least in tourists minds) is seriously underrated.

If you don't at least aim for it, then what's the fun? Seth Godin's new book is really quite good. He says almost the same thing, though he also spends time explaining how to define "world," since it will vary based on what you're trying to do, and who your competition is. John,
