Santorini: the Aegean island with a 4.000 year old history encompassing a wild beauty, the serenity of all shades of blue and fascinating gold sunsets.

Whitewashed cave and noble houses by the Caldera framed by bougainvillea, blue-domed churches, stone cobble ways and imposing views are just a hint of what you will find in Santorini. The island’s appeal is much more than it’s beauty in itself… It’s about the important archaeological sites, the Akrotíri, dated back to the 17th Century BC, the diverse breathtaking beaches, the rich gastronomy, the extraordinary wines…

Stay the night at the Agialos Hotel, a mansion set in Fira next to an 18th Century Byzantine church and dine at it’s gastronomic restaurant with excellent Greek dishes with a twist. All of the island’s elegance and privacy into one setting.

Santorini’s authenticity derives much from its original lodgings, the cave houses carved into the rock. For such a unique experience, the Esperas Hotel is the ideal destination, a collection of cave houses in Oia with private terraces for a direct sunset lounging and the inimitable 2-cave pool with views to the big blue.

Excursions, archaeological sites, sea explorations and athletic events are in abundance on the island. If you’re looking for the most authentic experience, hire a guide with a donkey for the steep hike up to discover the secret gems of the island, and choose to embark on a private cruise to the volcano and the nearby islands.

Santorini, this eternal rock continues to stand, strong and majestic, rising proudly from the sea and guarding well the secrets of Atlantis…
