Advantages: It must be the most photogenic place on the island. Disadvantages: Can be exspensive but you can visit for the day.
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 ...

Santorini is a small group of volcanic islands located in the Aegean Sea about 200 km south-east from the mainland of Greece.

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 ...
Advantages: Modern, air conditioning, very clean, good location Disadvantages: Not very Greek
Situated on the coast road from Skala to Poros, the NineMuseshotel is a relatively recent development, and as such you can expect all the modern amenities that are found within the newer complexes.
On arrival at the hotel you can expect a warm welcome, including being shown to your room by one of the managers and having your cases delivered straight to your door.
The rooms themselves are spacious, modern and quite luxurious (for Greece!). Each room contains a large fridge plus tea and coffee making facilities, as well as a TV with some Greek and English channels. It was also a nice touch to find a fresh flower in a vase had been placed on a counter top - another pleasant and surprising welcome.
The bathrooms are simply gorgeous, particularly noting the large power-shower cubicles (a rarity in Greece). Balconies are ...
