Paradise by the Sea

Welcome to Paradise!

Santorini is Greece's most famous island for good reason. The scenic beauty, the stunning sunsets,
the picturesque village and the friendly people all combine to create an unparalled vacation experience.

The Villages

Be sure to visit Fira, the capital, and nearby Oia. Both offer stunning sunsets, fine dining, and superlative shopping.

The Beaches

What They Say

Dolores and Tom from Cedar Rapids wrote,

We loved Santorini more than any other spot we went. Everything is incredibly beautiful, every vista looks like a postcard.
The food and shopping were outstanding and we loved the hotel you picked for us.

Jerry and Elias said,

The food at the little bistro on the roof with the caldera view of the setting sun is beyond extraordinary.
We ate there four times and every item we tried was wonderful. Thanks for all your help in giving us a wonderful trip.

Megan said,

My whole family loved Santorini. Our hotel was so wonderful with massages and great food.
The shopping was fun. But our favorite was the beach. We like the watersports and the great little tavernas near the water.
