Discover Santorini

Written on 20 Jan 2014

Welcome to one of the world’s most beautiful places.
Welcome to Santorini.

Undoubtedly the most extraordinary island in the Aegean, listed as one the “world’s best islands”, crescent-shape Santorini is a destination you will definitely fall in love with.

Santorini is a mythical island that endured one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history. With its spectacular sunsets from picturesque Oia and the Greek idyll in the 16th and 17th century cave houses overlooking Santorini’s caldera, Santorini feels like no other place on earth. Here, everything is brighter: the whitewashed cube-shaped houses and the dazzling white towns, the lapis lazuli sea and even the sunsets that light up the caldera.

Being one of the few places on earth where you can enjoy sublime luxury in the most intense natural surroundings, Santorini satisfies the most demanding travelers. It combines impressive hotels resting on natural volcanic plateaus with unrivaled view of the Aegean Sea and the volcanic caldera. Known also as the "Greek Pompeii", the visitor can even admire fascinating excavations on the famous archaeological site of ancient Akrotiri.

But Santorini would still be a unique experience even if the island wasn’t as breathtakingly beautiful. That’s because Santorini’s ingredients, volcanic soil and the Aegean breeze, offer also a feast for the taste buds, not only for the eyes. Local agricultural products with top quality and unique taste, like white aubergines or cherry tomatoes, are the base for skillfully crafted dishes by awarded chefs, offered in the most romantic places. A long vineyard tradition which goes 3.500 years back takes the wine lovers on a flavored journey with internationally acknowledged wine varieties reflecting the unique landscape.

Take one glass of the famous sweet Vinsanto, a wine with a rich gold color and an exceptional aroma, lean back and enjoy the breathtaking Santorini sunset. You will agree, there is nothing else to long for in this world.
