Santorini is one of the most serene of the greek islands. Its tranquil and beautiful by sea and on land. You can enjoy your own company whilst relaxing by a pool or take a hike through the hills where you will see some spectacular views of the island and beyond. If you are searching for a more local lively atmosphere you should check out Oia and Fira both have beautiful shops and restaurants with fabulous views over the island. Oia is home of Ammoudi Bay which is one of the most beautiful places to visit especially for dinner, I would highly recommend Sunset Tavern, the most idilic restaurant on the edge of the sea. A perfect place for great food accompanied by a picturesque sunset.
A great day trip is to hire a boat or catamaran to take you around the island whilst visiting various beaches and splashing around in the perfectly blue sea. Another great place to visit is Lycabettus restaurant, whilst visiting we had the pleasure of Michelin star chef Arnaud Bignon creating a treat for us, which was a great experience with a wonderful view to top it off. Then wall along the shops to see what local treasures you can find.
There are many places to stay on the island but one of the most perfect spots is Cavo Tagoo a beautifully formed 5* hotel, it is next level, magical. All rooms have a pool or hot tub and a view to die for. The main pool has an infinity view over the sea and to top it off the restaurant Ovac has the one of the best chefs I have ever come across, Polychronis Damalas. He creates Japanese fusion like no other if the beautiful setting wasn’t enough the food is an experience which will be hard to beat. LBLx
