Advantages: Very close to beach, shops & bars. Disadvantages: Could'nt keep the room on the day we were leaving (had a night flight)
Myself and family stayed at the ElGreco apartments in October 2007. I was pleased to find that we had a sea view, the apartments were directly opposite the beach. The rooms were clean and satisfactory, although the decor was in need of updating. The rooms were cleaned everyday and fresh towels left. The staff were very friendly. There were two lifts, (when getting out of the lift there was around five steps to walk down so could be tricky for anyone with a pushchair or wheelchair). The pool was very nice with a snack bar serving good food at cheap prices. The childrens pool was closed due to work being done. There was a resturant but we didnt eat there. There were lots of bars to choose from. The commercial centre was around a 10 minute walk away with lots of cheap places to eat & lots of shops. We found Puerto Rico to be a great ...

If you are on holiday on the island of Santorini it is likely that you will be tempted to vist the town of Ia which is famous especially for it's sunsets. Picturesque white and blue houses are built into the rock that overlooks the Caldera; this is an expanse of water formed in the past by the island volcanic activity. Cruise ships sail into the Caldera to view the attractive town,and the colured rock formations (cliffs) that have been created by the erruptions of the volcano and also to allow their passengers to vist the town. Restaurants, hotels, houses and hoilday properties are situated (perched on the cliff face) to take advantage of the view of the sunset over the Caldera.
Ia seems an exspensive place to stay for a holiday on Santorini but it is worth while taking a day trip there; it is a very photogenic place to visit. You ...

Advantages: beautiful scenary, black sand, Aegean sea, Vulcano, rich history Disadvantages: bus connections
I have spent a week vacationing on Santorini. The reason why I have chosen Santorini over the other 1400 Greek Islands, was my profesor who goes there rugularly and is completely in love with it. All his describing of the island made me decide to go there.
Santorini is a small group of volcanic islands located in the Aegean Sea about 200 km south-east from the mainland of Greece. The Greek islands are devided into island groups and Santorini belongs into the island group of the Cyclades. It's spread on 73 sq km and has a population of about 13,600 people.
1.) TRANSPORTATION
Buses: They were my main form of transportation for exploring the island.
The transfer between the airport (which is about 8 km away from Thira/Fira - »capital« of Santorini) was easy to find, there were plenty of buses that had hotel names written on them - so ...
