Greece
Santorini
White houses on the caldera, Oia sunsets and infinity pools overlooking the volcano.
Santorini is one of those places you have to see with your own eyes to believe they really exist. The volcanic caldera — a natural amphitheatre of dark lava rock that plunges into the sea — is one of the most dramatic and romantic settings in the Mediterranean. The white houses of Oia and Fira, hanging over the caldera, look hand-drawn.
The sunsets of Oia are famous worldwide — and they deserve it. The infinity pools of the best hotels, which visually merge with the sea and sky, are a visual experience without equal. Santorini is the perfect destination for those who want a luxury experience with incomparable visual impact.
