Villa Alpha is in Imerovigli village in Santorini, arguably one of the most dramatic Cyclades islands in the Aegean. This Instagram-worthy destination is best known for its classically Greek cube-shaped whitewashed houses that line the craggy cliffs.
Foodies will love the lively tavernas and top-notch restaurants, where just-caught seafood and traditional dishes like moussaka and mezes are always on the menu, while culture fiends can get lost in the narrow streets lined with chic boutiques.
Imerovigli is adjacent to the north of the island capital Fira and is mostly famous for its beautiful sunsets. Spend your afternoons visiting the sapphire domes or set sail on a guided boat tour of the nearby volcanic features.
You could also spend the day exploring the remains of Skaros, a 13th-century Venetian palace, then top the lot with a classic iced coffee or glass of wine as the sun goes down. Santorini has some excellent wineries in the region to visit.
Adrenaline junkies might like to part in water sports like sea kayaking and parasailing, and scuba diving is also a popular choice in Santorini. There are nearly forty recognised dive sites, mostly around the caldera and its islets.
Dive Aspronisi, where damselfish frequent a steeply plunging wall, around the World War II wreck between the two Kameni islets or the freighter with parrot fish.
For the outdoor lovers, the hike from Fira to Oria is a must do. The hike takes somewhere between two and five hours depending on your speed (and how many pictures you take along the way). You’ll enjoy magnificent views of the coastline.
