Santorini has become one of the most popular destinations for weddings for so many years now. This wedding is absolutely stunning and the view is what makes it! Le Ciel Santorini is one of the most luxurious hotels on the island, and is located in the northern part (not too far from Oia). It is a common destination for weddings and I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in getting married in Greece.

This sounds like a fabulous place for a wedding! Thank you for sharing.
 
This looks like a great place for weddings. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can have an Orthodox wedding here.

Yes, it seems more suited for western style weddings where an ordained person is conducting the ceremony.
 

Worst season ever’: How things got ugly on Greece’s ‘Instagram island’

Below is an extract from the article!(Not my opinion which I will write at the end of season)
"When evening comes, however, the crowds melt away, and some complain the island goes from Times Square to ghost town.
'The island is empty’
The truth is that the island is empty. Right now is like never before, it’s the worst season ever
The problem is that the social media are showing something completely different from what is the reality,” he says.
However, when the crowds are gone, “the hotels right now are more or less under 30% of a normal season,” he claims, and says that other businesses on the island are taking a similar hit".

Taking a Boat Tour of Santorini?

I am really excited about my trip to Santorini and wanted to do something different. Was thinking of a boat tour! However, with so many options available, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would love to hear from those who have experienced boat tours in Santorini before.

I'm particularly interested in hearing about your recommendations for boat tour companies or specific tours that stood out to you. Whether it's a catamaran cruise, a traditional Greek wooden boat excursion, or a luxury yacht experience, I'm open to all suggestions!

What were the highlights of your boat tour? Did you visit iconic landmarks like the volcanic hot springs, the famous Red Beach, or the picturesque island of Thirassia? How was the overall experience in terms of service, safety, and value for money?

Also, any tips or advice on booking the tour, such as the best time of day to go, whether morning, afternoon, or sunset, would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I choose the right tour that fits my preferences and budget.

Question about Amoudi Bay in Santorini

I am covering a lot of ground on my next Greek trip. I plan to visit Thessaloniki and then move on to Santorini and some of the other Cyclades islands. I have a question about Amoudi Bay. Is this worth seeing?

Someone told me that there are some good restaurants in this area, or am I getting that confused with something else?

Art classes in Santorini?

When I have been to Santorini in the past, I see a lot of artists painting. Many, I am sure, are just going there to paint. I don't blame them. I am wondering if there are classes!

I’m looking for recommendations on:
  1. Art Schools or Studios: Any well-known places that offer quality art classes?
  2. Types of Classes: Are there specific courses focusing on painting, sketching, or even digital art?
  3. Instructor Experience: It would be great to learn from someone who is not only skilled but also familiar with the local scenery and can provide tips on capturing the essence of Santorini.
I am sure there are classes, retreats, that kind of thing. But I don't know where to start seeking them out. Thought I'd start here.

Tips for Exploring Oia

I'm planning a trip to Santorini and I'm particularly excited about exploring Oia. I've heard it's one of the most beautiful and iconic spots on the island, with its stunning sunsets and charming streets.

I'd love to get some tips from those who have been there. Here are a few things I'm curious about:
  • Best viewpoints and locations to watch the sunset
  • Recommended cafes or restaurants with a great view
  • Must-see attractions and hidden gems in Oia
  • Tips for avoiding crowds and finding peaceful spots
  • Any suggestions for unique activities or experiences in Oia
  • Recommendations for local shops or markets to visit
  • Advice on the best time of day to explore and take photos
I appreciate any insights or advice you can share to help make my visit to Oia unforgettable. Looking forward to your suggestions!
