Enjoy Santorini the Aqua Vista Hotels Way

Sizzling sunsets and jaw-dropping vistas have made Santorini the darling of the Cyclades and its iconic traditional architecture, mesmerising sunsets and graphic little villages make it a magnet for couples, honeymooners and lovers. Santorini has become the epicentre of favourite summer destinations in Greece and Aqua Vista Hotels currently handles over 30 unique properties on the island.

Easily reached by boat from Piraeus, the main port of Athens, and also accessible via the main ferry lines from many ports in the Cyclades, in addition to Crete and Rhodes, there are numerous direct flights to the island from major international airports throughout the summer period (April-October).

Santorini is a land born of a volcanic past that sits sultrily in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Its clifftop enclaves of tiny whitewashed houses nestled amongst blue-domed churches are truly spectacular, with visitors left breathless by the expansive panoramas from the caldera edge.

Breathtaking Imerovígli, which sits on the island’s cusp, exudes tranquility and style, while the traditional hilltop settlement of Pyrgos is a cultural centre for art lovers. Finikia to the north is a serene Cycladic haven and all three destinations offer visitors the opportunity to soak up the island vibes in very characteristic boutique hotels.

Aqua Vista Hotels has selected a few of those pearls to make your next visit to Santorini even more unforgettable, with each one offering something very exclusive and distinct.
