A taste of Santorini: Aegean’s most romantic destination
Santorini is a destination that can win your heart very easily. You look at any published photos taken on this island and you can tell that it is a destination you must visit at least once in your lifetime. You visit Santorini and cannot believe your eyes…Fantastic, amazing Santorini deserves all the superlatives. Travelers from all over the world gather in this small island for what it turns out to be a fabulous experience.
The landscape is unreal, being the result of one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in history. The caldera wall of multi coloured cliffs is truly awesome. The view from the cliff side 350 meters above sea level is breathtaking. Similarly, when you arrive by ferry on an open deck and you stare to the top. An unforgettable experience to say the least.
Santorini is famous for its spectacular sunsets. Although sunset can be a truly unique experience from any location on the Caldera top, the village of Oia to the north of the island is a popular location to enjoy the sunset. A panoramic view of the surrounding area and an uninterrupted view of the sun as it finally disappears below the horizon has made Oia a famous spot on the island.
Luxury cruise liners gather between the Caldera and the Volcano island Nea Kameni creating a unique setting. Boats are coming and going full of tourists between the cruise ships and the island’s smaller port at the foot of capital Fira or visiting the volcano and surrounding hot spots for that special experience.
You can arrive by Ferry, Catamaran or by air. Connections are frequent and Santorini easily connects with the other neighbouring Cycladic islands and Crete. The main port, Athinios, is where all ferries terminate on the island.
Beautiful hotels with infinity swimming pools can be found on the Caldera rim with spectacular views which guarantee you the most romantic experience of your lifetime. Organized beaches with fish taverns and open air bars form a nice setting to enjoy your day in the Summer. Nearby villages await you to discover the greek hospitality and traditional cuisine. In the evening enjoy the walk in the narrow streets in Fira, Firostefani or Oia and experience modern greek cuisine in very nice restaurants in a unique atmosphere on the cliffside. Open air clubs and bars complete the picture. Santorini has it all!
