Greece Holidays With A Twist

Fly through the white, crisp clouds, head over the sparkling seas of the Aegean and land into the blissful haven that is Santorini. This precious island forms an important part of the Caldera, which formed after several major volcanic eruptions blew one island into several. The fascinating aspect of the Caldera is that under the deep blue, mystical seas, the islands are still adjoined, sitting like a huge bowl at the bottom of the ocean. Snorkelers will love it here, with so many caves and unusual rock formations to swim around, offering a variety of fish to spot in these clear blue seas.

Once on dry land, there are many resorts for you to choose from. Find your base then head off out into the fascinating towns and small, enchanting villages. The infamous town of Oia is arguably the most stunning town on the island and beats most others hands down. Its narrow, cobbled, winding streets entwine with one another and take you up, down and across this stunning cliff face. Dazzling with white washed churches and bright blue dome top roofs, scattered with old fashioned windmills and views as far as the eye can see. Sitting at the tip of the island, Oia boasts prestigious views over the Caldera and is the perfect spot to watch the amazing light show which fills the sky as the sun sets and the atmosphere grows even warmer.

For a romance filled evening, head to the capital of the Island, Thira. This exquisite town overflows with grace, beauty and refinement. With contemporary bars sitting on the cliff face overlooking the Caldera, take a seat and soak up the views whilst appreciating the here and now. After cooling down with an iced coffee, carry on through the small, winding streets passed the stylish, unique shops which line the pavements, each one enticing you in. As the evening grows closer to the sun going down, take your pick from an assortment of restaurants on offer, each one showing off its exquisite menu’s serving delicacies from around the world. Once you’ve picked where you’re going to dine, choose your seats wisely as you want the best front row seats possible. As you sip cold, crisp white wine and taste the flavours of Greece, watch on in adornment at the amazing sunset taking place before your very eyes. Romance hurtles through the air as the sky changes colour, like the stroke of an artists brush on a blank, white canvas, the deep shades of red, orange and purple take over and envelope you as if you’re the only two their.

Perissa is the perfect spot to choose as your holiday base. Offering a wide range of accommodations, from self catering apartments to bed & breakfast hotels, you won’t need to look far for somewhere nice to stay. With a long stretch of dark sandy beach, the sand here gets hotter as the day goes on, making you glad that the stunning, blue waters are close by to cool you through. Overlooked by rugged mountains, this picturesque town fulfils all needs, from bars and restaurants to transportation and sunbeds.

The locals are friendly, the food is divine and the views are spectacular….what more could you ask for?
