Description:

 
Santorini ... ...shows you how to dream!

A complex of white houses built on the top of the dark rocks.

Rocks shaped from the volcanic frenzy and houses mixed up with terraces, yards, steps, churches...

Everything brought together hangings above the caldera - a spectacular, beautiful image that looks like a fairytale!!!

 

 

 

Getting Here and Around

The ferry brings us to our fantasy as it arrives at Athinios, the island΄ s port. Next to it, Mesa Gialos is the port for the cruise ships. The air path of the cable-car, the vastness of the Aegean Sea seems dominance imposing itself through the huge rocks and the land of Santorini.  A romantic choice is the ascendance of the 500 steps on back of a donkey.

Fira, the center of   Santorini΄s life!    A city that never sleeps!!!

Narrow streets steps, narrow shops offering a variety of things to demanding buyers and experienced collectors.

Restaurant with balconies overlooking the Aegean Sea.

 

Firostefani, Imerovigli

 

Bright – white houses, swimming pools at the edge of the caldera and sunlight gives warm tones on the walls of the picturesque houses.

The feeling of human meter disappears as it plunges among the volcano, Skaros and the vastness of the sea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

OIA and sunset: A picture  -  A lot of words...

 

The blue colour of the sky and the sea matches under the sun with the white of the houses.

Greek colours, interrupted by the shades of the flowers and the noise of the crowd.

The traditional technician built upon geometrical shapes using volcanic materials - Black, red and pumice stones. Marble paths leading to the end of Ia…where the sun plays with the moon and colours the horizon in red and orange.

 

 

 

Games on the pebbly beaches

- Santorini΄ s Shores do not resemble to the beaches of the other islands of the Aegean Sea.

- Lava΄ s red colour is imprinted on the rocks and the pebbles, giving a different dimension of place and time.

- Popular beaches with dark and volcanic rocks.

- The crystal clear waters invigorate the senses.

- The mind relaxes.

- Our mood changes and relaxes as the sunlight embraces us….

 

 

Hospitality

 

 

Around the island, there are plenty of cosmopolitan hotels, with magnificent style and grandeur.

Numerous cafes, restaurants and bars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Experience

The exploration of the seabed in a boat "with transparent glass bottom" is revealing.

We go through the pages of the island s history that was distributed by the volcanic eruption and the earthquakes that followed, sinking part of the island into historical legends.

Could this be Atlantida?
