Santorini
Did we save the best till last? We’ll let you decide as we spend our final couple of nights on the iconic Greek island of Santorini – the star of the show. Santorini, also known as Thera, is essentially what remains of an enormous, 16th Century BC volcanic explosion that destroyed the original early settlements on what was formerly a single island and leading to the creation of the current geological caldera. In a place famous for its breathtaking views and stunning sunsets, it has the five villages of Fira, Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani and Akrotiri which sits atop the caldera and offers spectacular views into the crater that was created by the ancient eruption.
Santorini - Albatros Hotel Four-star
Situated in a blooming garden in Karterados, a 15-minute walk from the centre of Fira in Santorini.
