This summer I went to Santorini and spent fantastic 7 days on this really beautiful island. We stayed in Kamari in hotel Epavlis which turned to be good choice. The 4 star hotel was very comfortable and Kamari is a lovely beach resort. From Kamari you can go to the most famous places and towns in Sanorini by bus or rent a car. It takes only 10 minutes to Fira - the capital town. Although it was the beginning of August island didn't seamed to be too crowded and the weather was just fine, about 35-37 °C

Santorini is not easy to describe...it is not comparable with any other Greek island. What makes it so different from any other island, is its imposing landscape, the caldera with its im
pressionistic contrast of colours....
Santorini is the last of the Cyclades islands to the South. The closests islands are Ios, Folegandros, Sikinos to the North, Anafi and Amorgos to the East and Crete to the South.
Santorini is a complex of five islands. Santorini (Thira) is the main island and around it Thirasia and Aspronisi (parts of the ancient Stroggili) and the two volcanic islands Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni.
Many reasons made this island famous worldwide and more or less we all have seen a picture of it. There is a talk about the connection between Thira and mythical Atlantis. Also Jules Verne made Santorini famous with its books "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and "The
mysterious island" where captain Nemo and his crew watch the volcano eruption. He was one of the visitors and scientists that came to Thira during the eruptions of 1866 - 1870 and wrote the well known book just after it.
It is really the mysterious island and it is probably the most famous for its Caldera - which is the opening created by the Santorini volcano - its breathtaking sunset view and its beaches, which have unique colors due to the volcanic properties of the sand. Santorini's rocky cliffs and landscape are almost primitive and wild, adding even more to its mystery...
If you are after the caldera view have a look at Fira, Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Akrotiri.
For the best beaches check Perissa, Kamari, Perivolos, Vlihada a
nd Red beach.
I took lots of photos which I`m sharing with you here hoping that I will visit Santorini again...some day.
This island is perfect for lovers and romantics... And the food is great:) I had wonderful time... although I missed one person very much... There is always the next time:)
