Sunsets in Santorini

This was my third visit to Santorini and I will certainly be back again very soon I hope.

We stayed in the resort of Kamari at the Tamarix del Mar suites. As it was a 40th birthday treat we upgraded to a suite with a rooftop Jacuzzi with beautiful views over Kamari - I felt very spoilt.

Kamari is only a short drive from the airport and not far from Thira, the old capital.

Thira is one of my favourite spots on the island especially as in my opinion it offers the best view of the sun setting over the Caldera. There are lots of bars and restaurants offering a prime location built into the cliff side. It really is a perfect setting. Oia is also very popular for watching the sun set.

We decided to take the cable car down to the small harbour in Thira and rather than opting for a donkey ride back up we took the steps. Not for the faint hearted as it was steep and there are a lot of steps but got some great pictures on the walk back up.

We got married 9 years ago in Santorini at the Santo winery and it was great to go back to our wedding venue and sample the amazing wine on offer. A visit to the Santo Winery is a must!

We have previously hired a car whilst in Santorini and it’s an easy island to drive around, but the local bus service is also very good.

You will fall in love with Santorini, so put it on your must visit list!
