What to do

Santorini, A mythical island: essentially what remained after an enormous volcanic eruption that created a giant, central, rectangular lagoon with high, steep cliffs on three sides and the current geological caldera (volcanic crater).

Easily accessible via direct flights from several European cities; London, Geneva, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, Dublin, and many more.

Our Bright Blue Santorini villas perched along the top of the demi cliffs will make you feel like you live in a unique place on earth.

The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea .The capital Fira, with its whitewashed cubic houses with their vertiginous terraces –now home to fabulous restaurants and cafes, clings to the top of the cliff looking down on the lagoon. The white clusters of the town of Oia sitting on the rim of the island’s circling cliffs, will thrill you with one of the world’s most breathtaking sunsets.

History and Culture

Travelling with children? Don’t miss an educational visit to this site, which re-opened in April 2012, after being buried under the grey volcanic ashes for some 3,000 years; in fact a whole intact ancient city is still waiting to be unearthed.

Visit the volcano! Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic explosion that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island and created the current geological caldera. Walk on the edge of the biggest crater called Daphne; you will be impressed with the colorful rocks and their formations.
