Who knew a volcano eruption could create something so beautiful. Over 3,000 years, one of the biggest eruptions the world has ever known left a huge crater in what is now southern Greece. In the years to come this would become the beautiful island of Santorini. It’s unique crescent shape and stunning scenery has made Santorini holidays a must for tourists from around the globe.

The Aegean Sea shimmers with a sapphire blue tint that perfectly contrasts the terracotta cliffs and the whitewashed buildings. While it is a beautiful sight during the day, it is nothing compared to sunset when it turns to a magnificent dance of colours. The skies turn to orange while the calms turn indigo as day turns to night. Paradise has never felt so close.

A 2019 holiday to Santorini will simply take your breath away. The small coastal villages that make up the main resorts are charming affairs while offering the very best in accommodation. Kamari is the place to be for beach holidays in Greece, the village forms part of the huge Kefalos Bay which stretches along the south-west of the island. The aptly named Paradise Beach is by far the most popular but if you want a more secluded spot then visit the nearby Exotic Beach.

Embrace relaxation with a break in Perissa. While it is relatively close to Kamari, this is the much quieter neighbour to the lively resort to the north. Wander along the quirky black beaches; sample some authentic Greek cuisine in the many tavernas and ruins of the ancient city of Elevsina. Santorini is full of beautiful historical sites that are just waiting to be discovered.
