Tucked on the western coast of the unique and brilliant island of Santorini, Villa Lampsi promises a perfect location to enjoy a little of the local flavour, not to mention breath-taking sea views!
Located in the Aegean Sea, just north of Crete and east of mainland Greece, the island of Santorini is one of the most famous of all the Greek islands. A devastating history, world-class sunsets and stunning scenery combine for an unmissable destination! Truly, Santorini’s beaches are unlike any other – formed from the ash of centuries of devastating volcanic eruptions, many of them are deep black or brown shades, creating a fascinating landscape! Indeed, it is the caldera formed by one particularly immense eruption that gives Santorini its iconic crescent shape, and towering cliffs along the west side of the island. To get the best insight into this majestic land, take a stroll straight from your front door up towards Oia in the far north of the island, and enjoy this caldera-edge pathway!
Well-known for its warmth and hospitality, like so much of Greece, Santorini has a long-established history of tourism, with excellent infrastructure across the island! Vast skies, sparkling sandy beaches in every shade and huge stretches of brilliant blue seas define this country and its many islands, where the thriving nature complements elegant architecture throughout. For a little adrenaline, try your hand at kitesurfing, wreck diving, and rock-climbing, or simply set up on a beautiful beach and soak up the long days of sunshine.
Be sure to tuck into some of the classic Greek cuisine while you’re here, including the local specialities! The food of Greece is famous for its rich flavours and delicate recipes of Mediterranean delights. As well as this, if you like the occasional tipple you ought to try Ouzo and Raki, two grape-based alcoholic drinks, in your time on the island, both firm favourites of the locals. There is also a lot of wine produced across the island, in particular crisp dry whites and Vinsanto, the delicious dessert wine.
A warm, passionate people and such a beautifully sociable country, both young and old will welcome you with open arms in Greece. Whether in pavement cafes, cosy restaurants or the thriving town squares, the people love nothing more than to enjoy a coffee or an ouzo in the company of the local community.
