In 2013, TripAdvisor included Santorini as one of the top ten European Islands, and it holds that title until today! Being deemed as "one of the most beautiful islands in the world" is a hard name to uphold, but seeing the stunning views from this volcanic Greek island will have you understanding why Santorini simply cannot be dethroned! 

Santorini was formed from one of the largest historical volcanic eruptions. Now, the still-active volcano is surrounded by multi colored cliffs, whitewashed architecture, welcoming culture and endless sunsets.

Astra Suites: Greatness lies 20 minutes away from Fira!

We recommend staying at Astra Suites! It is located centrally, just 20 minutes away from the main town of Fira. 

Nearby, your shopaholic heart can rejoice in the abundance of boutiques and stores where you can buy souvenirs, clothing, delicacies and more!


 
The best times to visit are between the months of April to May, when the temperatures are warm enough and the seasonal shops are open, but without the influx of pricing and herds of tourists surrounding you.

If you are feeling classy, make sure to head to a local winery (you may need a car to reach the closest one!) to enjoy some of the islands specialty drinks. Swing by Oia with your bottle of wine, sit on the beach and watch the sun transform into hanging stars for a calm and relaxing date night!

TWO GORGEOUS ROOM WITH A GREAT VIEW AND PREMIUM FACILITIES

We recommend two different types of rooms for you to stay in! If you opt for the Architect's House, you will have a private swimming pool and Jacuzzi, but if you stay in the Pool Suite, you will have your own private pool overlooking the Caldera! It comes down to personal preference! 

 
Akrotiri is considered one of the most romantic places in all of Santorini. Even though the old archaeological site dates back to 3000 BC and was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, most of the site has been restored today. If you climb to the top of the fortress, you can see most of the island including the caldera of the volcano. Along the way, you can wander through grape vines, geological formations and local Greek culture!

If you head over to Imerovigli (if you can tough out the crowds), you will see a stunning sunset, including views of Ai-Stratis, Monastery of Saint Nikolaos, and Skaros! It's no wonder Imerovigli is named the "Balcony to the Aegean Sea".
