Plenty to see on this breath-taking island
Breath-taking, beautiful, awe-inspiring - these are just a few words to describe Santorini. I had a most marvellous, self-catering holiday at Kamari last Sept/Oct.
The weather was ideal, the people were so friendly, the restaurants were reasonably priced, the public transport was very good and there was plenty to see.
You should go to the volcano, and the sunset cruise is a must. We intend to go back.
A beautiful island
The first time I saw Santorini was four years ago on a day cruise from Crete. We sailed out at sunrise and sailed back at sunset. It was a truly spectacular trip.
I could not wait to see this beautiful island chain again, so two years ago I went to stay for a week and looked around at the sights.
It was still magnificent, a really special place which I would recommend to anyone.
Wonderful beaches
I went to Santorini last year. It was truly splendid, with fantastic, friendly people, wonderful beaches and food.
My only problem was it was too hot. I didn't believe it when people said it was about 30C. I thought the temperatures were nearer 40C.
Perissa is a bit of a one horse town but you have everything you need and it's so peaceful.
I am going to Santorini again in September. I can't wait.
Volcanic splendours
Santorini is one of the prettiest Greek islands. The capital Fira has the most spectacular views.
Hire a car and see the sights. Book to visit the volcano from the harbour. You can catch the local bus to the capital and it runs until very early in the morning.
Heaven on earth
Santorini is heaven on earth. We stayed at the Blacksand Appartments in Karmari which is ideal for couples and young families.
The people are so friendly and welcoming. If you enjoy good food and wine, this is the place for you.
An outing not to be missed is the sunset in Oia. We sat there with a glass of wine. It's a truly remarkable experience, just breathtaking.
We enjoyed it so much we are returning to Santorini this year.
