Byzantine Castle Ruins is the perfect place to begin your discovery of Santorini. This once-important structure is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other attractions like Museum of Prehistoric Thira, Archaeological Museum of Thera, and Santorini Caldera to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

The property is beautiful but the terracotta/ orange sand that blew in from the desert was all over the floor in our room. Our luggage being wheeled in, also carried the orange sand into our room, so our socks and feet turned orange. When I went to use a very white towel, there was a dark “something” folded into it. I thought it was a bug. Thankfully when my husband checked, it turned out to be granola that wasn’t cleaned in their wash.

All I can say is wow! The hotel was beautiful, the staff was super friendly, & the drinks & food were amazing. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our room, hanging by the pool, and going to the beach lounge that the hotel partners with. We will definitely be returning & can’t imagine staying anywhere else!
