Santorini

A Few Words About

Santorini

Santorini is one of the most picturesque and sought-after holiday destination in the world. This stunning island in the Cyclades archipelago of Greece is famous for its breath-taking views, stunning sunsets, rich history, and vibrant culture. We are excited to share with you some of the top attractions and activities that make this place a must-visit destination.

First and foremost, Santorini is known for a distinctive style of white-washed houses perched on the volcanic rocks, creating a stunning contrast against the deep blue sea and sky. Many of the houses on the island are built in the traditional Cycladic style, with smooth curves and rounded edges, while others are constructed as cave houses, carved into the volcanic rock formations that make up the island’s landscape. The result is truly unique and breath-taking architectural landscape that is instantly recognisable as Santorini. As our Casa Arista converted mill lies in a short walking distance from the island’s capital Fira, you can stroll the streets of this beautiful village any time to admire the typical Cycladic style, taste local cuisine or get entertained in one of many bars of clubs.

Santorini is also famous for its awe-inspiring volcanic landscape. A hike up to the top of the island’s volcano offers panoramic views of the caldera, an enormous crater formed by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. As you trek up the mountain, you’ll see steaming vents and get a glimpse of the volcanic activity that continues to shape the island today.

Embark on a remarkable voyage through time and unlock the enigmatic allure of Santorini’s bygone era by exploring the ancient city of Akrotiri. Brace yourself for an unforgettable experience as you traverse the hallowed grounds of this archaeological marvel, immersing yourself in its rich history and unearthing the mysteries that lie within. This Minoan settlement was buried under volcanic ash in the 16th century BC and is one of the most well-preserved archaeological sites in the Aegean. Marvel at the well-preserved frescoes and structures, which offer a fascinating insight into the daily life of the Minoan civilisation.

Santorini is also renowned for its stunning sunsets, which are best enjoyed from the charming village of Oia. As the sun sets over the Aegean Sea, the sky lights up in shades of pink, orange, and gold, providing an unforgettable sight that you’ll remember for years to come. We can help you to arrange a sunset cruise around the island, where you can soak in the views from the water and enjoy a traditional Greek meal as the sun sets.

Foodies will love the culinary delights of Santorini, which draw on traditional Greek cuisine with a modern twist. Don’t forget to sample some of the island’s famous wines, which are produced in vineyards located in the unique volcanic soil. If you wish we can arrange for a wine tour including wine tasting or cooking classes.

The island offers a diverse range of beach experiences, from the black sands of Perissa and Kamari to the red sands of Red Beach. Relax on the shore, go for a swim, or try your hand at water sports. We can book for you yacht cruise which will include visiting the most attractive and secluded beaches and possibility of snorkelling.

Finally, Santorini is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, cycling, and horseback riding are popular activities on the island, and there are plenty of trails and routes to explore. Take a guided tour of the island’s stunning countryside or rent a bike and explore at your own pace.
