Destination: Santorini, Greece 🇬🇷

Average Price For a 7-day trip: $2,628

I just got back from my honeymoon where I spent nearly 2 weeks exploring 3 beautiful Greek Islands. My first stop was Santorini, so here are some of the highlights you need to hit on the beautiful Island of Santorini. Famous for its breathtaking sunsets, pristine whitewashed buildings, and vibrant blue domes, this island will stun you with mesmerizing views of the caldera.

Why Visit Santorini?

• Stunning sunsets: Santorini is world-famous for its breathtaking sunsets, which can be enjoyed from any number of vantage points around the island. But the best place to watch the sunset is from the village of Oia, where you can sip a glass of wine and soak up the magical atmosphere.

• Romantic getaway: Santorini is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. With its charming villages, luxurious hotels, and delicious food, Santorini has something to offer couples of all ages.

• Adventure: Santorini is more than just a romantic getaway. There are plenty of opportunities for adventure on the island, from hiking, to volcano trekking, to boat tours.

The Best Time to Visit

If you're looking for the warmest weather and the best beaches, the peak summer months of July and August are the best time to visit. However, If you're looking for milder weather and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to October are a good option.

Where to Stay: Petit Palace Santorini

Nestled just outside the bustle of Fira, Petit Palace Santorini delivers jaw-dropping views and intimate luxury. Perched right on the caldera’s edge, it felt like you had the Aegean Sea all to yourselves. The whitewashed design is pure Cycladic elegance, but it’s the service, serenity, and your own plunge pool that made it our favorite hotel that we have EVER stayed at.

Here are just a few of the things you can do at the Petit Palace:

• Private Suites with Caldera Views: Waking up to a panoramic sunrise over the sea is the kind of memory you’ll treasure forever. And yes—your private terrace with plunge pool? Divine.

• Candlelit Dining at Elia Restaurant: Every meal was a celebration. Local flavors, expertly paired wines, and views that steal your breath (and maybe a kiss or two).

• Secluded Serenity, Yet Close to Fira: You got all the romance and quiet, but Fira’s charm was just a short ride away when you craved a little buzz.

No matter what you choose to do, you're sure to have a memorable vacation if you stay at the Canaves Oia Hotel. You can stay at this gorgeous 5-star hotel for around $414 a night.
