Stunning Mykonos & Santorini

Classic Travel • May 17, 2013

MYKONOS & SANTORINI

I have just returned from an educational visit to Greece courtesy of Amathus Holidays. We flew into the most cosmopolitan of the Greek islands, Mykonos.  Mykonos Town is truly beautiful, such a pretty place with cobbled streets, pristine clean ,great shopping & waterfront bars and restaurants. 

I visited a number of hotels on the island –

  • Mykonos Grace
  • Mykonian Ambassador
  • Petasos Beach
  • Apollonia Bay
  • Mykonos Grand

After 2 nights stay we travelled on the Catamaran ferry to Santorini, the journey took just over 2 hours, it was interesting to see the other Cyclades Islands in the distance. For a 2 centre holiday these 2 islands will work really well together.

Santorini is so different from Mykonos; once a volcanic island which left the island with fantastic cliffs and stunning scenery, it is truly a place of beauty. I stayed at Mystique in Oia, on the north tip of the island Oia is famous for its sunsets. This hotel is situated on the edge of a cliff with spectacular views, but not for the faint hearted!

Fira, is the town where all the cruise ships anchor, a busy capital with fine shops, restaurants, traffic free, so super to stroll through the maze of winding streets and admire the spectacular views of the caldera.

Hotels visited here – Mystique

  • The Grace at Imerovigli
  • La Mer at Kamari Beach
  • & for a real Greek experience I can highly recommend the Hotel Vedema at Megalohori

Please call me if you would like to visit these islands or for more information – Yvonne on 020 808 5588

For weddings or honeymoons these islands are perfect- call me for up to date advice.
