To be honest, out of all the hotels we’re staying at in Greece, I was most looking forward to Santorini. I couldn’t wait to see the blue dome churches and the amazing sunsets. So it makes sense that I had a long list of requirements for my Santorini hotel. Shockingly enough I was able to find a hotel that met everything on my checklist. But it’s one thing to look good on paper, but another to have an amazing experience. Keep reading to see how this hotel measures up to an uptight tourist.
In the summertime, my Instagram feed is filled with the white buildings and blue domes of Santorini, and this year I finally got to go! Luckily, it lived up to its name. Santorini was the highlight of my Honeymoon (yes – MY) and encompassed everything that I pictured Greece to be. The pristine, cliffside, white buildings with blue domes were even better in person and I took so many pictures that I won’t be able to go through all of them… but I tried just for you.
Let’s be honest, when you hear the words ‘Santorini’ or ‘Greece’, you think of the blue domes in Oia (pronounced ee-yah). And for good reason, the beautiful contrast of the blue domes and white walls with the stunning views of the sea, are just breathtaking. Not to mention that this is all on the side of a cliff means that almost every view is un-obstructive. Even if you’re not staying in Oia, it’s worth the drive up because seeing these cathedrals, up close in person, is a once in a lifetime experience. It’s hard for me to put this into words, honestly those 4 sentences are all I could do and I know it doesn’t do this view justice. So I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.
