Santorini

Santorini, Greece

Santorini is probably where you want to go if this is your first trip to Greece. The island is visually spectacular on the scale of say The Grand Canyon and if it is not the #1 destination in the world for honeymooners it is close. You can find information about Santorini  in my Santorini Guide. Because the island is so popular if you are late in booking many of these will be unavailable, especially those with Caldera View which will also be the most expensive. But you can use the map and the search options on each villa page to find other similar properties nearby. Make note that many of these villas have a kitchenette which is like a kitchen for someone who does not really cook. But with all the restaurants and good food around if you make more than a piece of toast and coffee you will be in the minority. You can also contact Fantasy Travel and they can assist you with booking accommodations and also ferry tickets, tours and your hotel in Athens. Or you can use Matt's Create-an-itinerary form which is very useful especially if you are planning to go to more than one island. You can also use the Santorini Villas and Holiday Homes Search
