General: Dreaming of vows renewal

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

I have connected Santorini with the best trip of my life, my honeymoon! We got married in a legal wedding here in the UK and then we went to Santorini for the honeymoon. From the time the ferry approached the port, I was amazed by the view, the small white houses on top of the caldera. Our hotel was in Imerovigli and the honeymoon suite had the most gorgeous view. To see the sun rising from...

Villages: The most romantic sunset

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

Thinking about Santorini... the first thing that always comes in my mind is the sunset. The island is famous all over the world for its spectacular sunsets and the best place to enjoy these sunsets is Oia village. Many locals and tourists, visit Oia in Santorini every evening, seating at the coffee shops or in a...

General: Enjoy the sunset

To me, Santorini has always come across as the most romantic island ever. This was my second visit there. We stayed at an apartment in Oia, the village known for its exquisite sunset views. From our room, each day we used to enjoy views of the setting sun. The village is situated on an imposing cliff and it is not far from the capital. Walking will be your favourite activity on Santorini is not the place to come for ...

General: Disappointed with hospitality

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

Santorini is very picturesque and beautiful but I experienced terrible hospitality and customer service just about everywhere I went. It was very hurtful and disappointing. Oia and Pyrgos was my favorite of the places in Santorini. The island is truly beautiful in very way. Too many tourists in Fira in July. The bea...

General: Get enough of its beauty

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

Each and every time I visit Santorini Island, it amazes me with its exceptional panoramic beauty. This was my fourth visit to the island. I just can't get enough of it. This time we had stayed at the Princess Hotel in the attractive Imerovigli village. To me, the best way to roam about Santorini is to hire a ren...

General: So unique for our days

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

In Santorini, we loved Oia. We also enjoyed the towns of Fira, Firastefani, Imerovigli. we loved staying in Imerovigli, it's a hike to Fira, but you are away from all of the activity yet close enough to enjoy it. Ancient Thira was worth the hike and we hiked down via a small church that is in a cliff. We discovered the almost deserted town of Emborio, amazing. We also just enjoyed sitting on ou...

Accommodation: Rhapsody apartments is splendid

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

I used greeka.com to check out various places to stay at Santorini and contacted three different places by e-mail. Judging from photos, response mail from the three and where the three places where situated combined with price offers, I decided on Rhapsody apartments in Imerovigli. I must say I don't regret at all. ...

General: Most incredibly beautiful place

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

Santorini was the most incredibly beautiful place that my wife and I have ever seen. The view of the caldera is just incredible. The walking trail from Imeroviglia to Oia was very nice to see the island in a more natural setting. Oia and Fira are wonderul but you need to like crowds. Imeroviglia is quieter and very romantic, a nice place to accommodate. There are luxurious hotels with outdoor j...

General: Less crowded in off season

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:44:12 GMT

I really liked the volcano on Santorini and archaeological sites (its one of the main reasons I visit Greece). I was a bit disappointed that Akrotiri was closed. Reopen Akrotiri as soon as possible. Also have longer opening hours for museums, for example in evening. Our hotel was on the edge of the caldera in Firostefani and having breakfast overlooking the crater was a memory that will last a ...

General: Most favorite in the world

Good points Santorini was amazing! The town of Oia was a highlight of my travels through the Greek Isles, and has taken the place of my favorite destination on earth. The Greek hospitality and spectacular scenery I encountered throughout my travels in the Cyclades made this my most enjoyable vacation ever. I cannot wait to return. Every aspect of
