Santorini in Spring
Most people tend to visit Santorini during the Summer however I opted to visit shortly after I turned 27 in October this year. I was told by locals that coming in October was the best decision as peak season had already passed and was coming to an end. I was surprised to find the streets of Oia so empty without being flocked by tourists and had what I can only describe as one of the most memorable experiences of my life to say the very least.
When it came to picking where to stay I did a fair amount of research and decided to go with Canaves Oia Epitome which I booked through Small Luxury Hotels of the World. This website is absolutely golden! They have multiple boutique hotels worldwide and I use it whenever I am travelling.
Canaves Oia Epitome was located right out of the main town of Oia, above the picturesque fishing town of Ammoudi. A picturesque location where I managed to catch every sunset and admired the vast view that came with every suite. Breakfast is complimentary and the hotel offers free shuttle transportation to and from Oia. I would catch the shuttle every evening to grab dinner in Oia - nothing quite beats a local Greek salad and fresh calamari!
Canaves Oia Epitome never fails to deliver a luxurious experience! If you’re looking for a perfect getaway from the main town - this is the PERFECT spot for you!
TWO BEDROOM POOL VILLA
In 2010, the Chaidemenos sons, Markos and Alexandros, took over Canaves Oia Epitome. Their modern take on hospitality rocketed the brand to new heights with international awards and top-tier media exposure for each property. In 2017 all common areas of the area were also renovated and a brand new infinity pool was added in both properties.
The 90 sqm Villa captivates you from the moment you checkin. Our room comprised of 2 spacious living rooms, a Master bedroom and a second bedroom with another King bed with a shower and separate bathtub. Our suite had the best view overlooking the Aegean Sea too!
Had the pleasure of staying at the Royal Silo in Cape Town - have a little sneak peak at my latest photo diary of my two night stay to celebrate my 33rd birthday bash!
