Santorini holidays
Direct flight from Gatwick or Manchester, or via Athens
Santorini is an island that should need no introduction. Also known as Thira, it is startlingly unlike any other.
Sheer volcanic cliffs, embroidered on their heights by whitewashed villages, plunge 1,000 feet to the sea. Here occurred the tremendous eruption some 3,000 years ago that is thought to have destroyed the Minoan civilisation in Crete as well as Santorini’s own advanced culture (as evidenced by the excavations at Akrotiri). Theories of Atlantis abound, but all that remains is the vast sea-filled caldera, the visible lips being the three main islands of Thira, Therasia and Aspronisi.
Understandably this dramatic island is always popular and tourism, together with wine production, is fairly dominant. Nevertheless, Santorini is an island that should be visited at least once – it is unique and the views are spectacularly unforgettable.
Easyjet flies from Gatwick up to four times per week, allowing odd durations and ‘open-jaw’ itineraries. Weekly charter flights from Manchester and Birmingham operate to Santorini on Tuesdays. Alternatively fly via Athens with onward domestic flight or ferry. Transfers on arrival and departure to/from your accommodation provided (20-30 mins).
On all these islands we have appointed local agents who arrange your transfers, can give information, book cars and excursions, and can be contacted if required. However, it is important to state that we do not employ our own representatives, nor are transfers escorted, so our holidays here are recommended for the more independent traveller.
Please also bear in mind that travel plans involving ferries can be disrupted at short notice due to the vagaries of ferry timetables, high winds etc. Although rare, should this occur we will rebook your hotels and transfers accordingly.
