Santorini:
A Spectacular Finale
Our 昀椀nal destination was the idyllic island of
Santorini, where we spent two nights in Oia.
Famous for its whitewashed buildings, blue
domes and dramatic caldera views, Oia lived
up to its reputation. Around almost every
corner was another postcard-worthy scene.
We also visited one of Santorini’s distinctive
black sand beaches, where the volcanic
landscape created a striking contrast with the
blue Aegean Sea.
We stayed at:
Katikies Oia
Our rating: 5/5 stars
An unforgettable experience! The location was
exceptional, the room was stunning, and the
view was breathtaking. On our 昀椀nal evening, we
dined at Botrini’s Restaurant, bringing the trip
to a suitably special conclusion.
Our 18 days through
Türkiye and
Greece offered the
perfect balance of
discovery, culture,
food and relaxation.
We moved from
Cappadocia’s
surreal valleys to
Istanbul’s bustling
streets, from the
ancient wonders
of Athens to the
tranquil beaches of
the Greek islands.
Travel is good for
the soul because
it interrupts the
familiar. It asks us
to look up, pay
attention and
be present. We
return home with
photographs and
souvenirs, but
also with new
perspectives,
stronger memories
and a renewed
appreciation for the
world around us.
Sometimes the
greatest bene昀椀t
of going away is
discovering just
how refreshed,
inspired and alive
we feel when we
return.
