Ideally we wouldn't like to be too far from a beach / resort type little shops taverns like Kamari(?) but had also looked at Oia and Perissa. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's 12 mths until we get married but I am so exicted about going back to Greece. (Went island hopping when I was at college and loved it) Back to top     leanne23 Greeka - Newbie Joined: 29 Jun 2008 Posts: 3     Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 8:26 pm    Post subject: sorry, that should've said where to stay... see title Back to top     alexis Moderator Joined: 14 Jul 2005 Posts: 571 Location: Greece Athens     Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 12:11 pm    Post subject: Well, for a romantic stay on the island, Oia is a must. Then Fira is also great and gives the opportunity to get arround very easily. Perissa and Kamari are on the beach but compared to the cliffs' villages, it is nice but nothing exceptional. It also much more cheaper.

We stayed in the Hotel Kastelli in Kamari. It is a lovely place, belonging to the small luxary hotels of the world group. From Kamari you are only ten minutes by car to Thira or Prygos, another 5 minutes more and you are in Imerogilvi, ten minutes futher on and you are in Oia. Some hotels in Imerogilvi and Oia can set you back thousands a week. They are beautiful with there private terraces and infinity pools, and ofcourse the amazing sunset, but whilst staying in Kamari we drove around to these places several times. The Island is only 18km long tip to tip. So my advice would be to get a luxary hotel in Kamari and visit the little picture post card villiges by car or taxi. Even the bus to Thira only takes 15mins, and costs €1.40. Spend the saved cash on champayne cocktails at the Albatros Club on Kamari Beach. _________________ J S Aston Back to top   Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Page 1 of 1 All times are GMT + 2 Hours          Greece Forum Index -> Santorini       Jump to: Select a forum General----------------AnnouncementsFeedback and Suggestions Greece General Discussion----------------AthensGreece and the Greek Islands in generalHotels and accommodation in Greece Cyclades Islands----------------SantoriniMykonosNaxosParosIosMilosOther Cyclades islands Ionian Islands----------------CorfuKefaloniaZakynthosLefkadaOther Ionian islands Dodecanese Islands----------------RhodesKosKarpathosOther Dodecanese islands Crete Island----------------The island of Crete Eastern - Northern Aegean Islands----------------LesvosThassosSamothrakiSamosOther Eastern Aegean islands Sporades Islands----------------SkiathosSkopelosAlonissosSkyros Saronic----------------AeginaHydraPorosSpetsesAgistri Mainland Greece----------------AthensPelionHalkidikiOther Destinations in Mainland Greece Members Section----------------Meeting people in Greece and the Greek Islands...Introducing yourself  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum   SmoothBlue phpBB Template by SkaidonDesigns Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group
