Choosing Between The Best Boutique Hotels in Santorini

The Greek Islands are one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. The warm, sunny weather, breathtaking scenery and miles of golden beaches all make it a must visit place for anyone wishing to get away from wet, wintery weather, and that's just the mainland. What makes Greece unique among sunny holiday destinations in the Mediteranean is the abundance of beautiful islands that are worth visiting. Santorini is one such island.

Santorini is one of the most picturesque and unusual of the Greek islands thanks in large part to the fact that it is made of what remains from a volcanic explosion that occurred years ago. There is a thriving community on the island and the nightlife is as spectacular and entertaining as the island is beautiful.

The island has a reputation for luxury which is reflected in the boutique hotels in Santorini, which are some of the best in the world. If you are thinking of making Santorini your holiday destination some time soon you'll be pleasantly surprised at what's on offer. The island may look and feel like it's been forgotten by time in all the right ways, but the facilities in boutique hotels in Santorini are certainly not second rate.

Poetry in motion - The 'Homeric Poem's luxury hotel is one of the most romantic boutique hotels in Santorini. It attracts honeymooners who loose themselves in the picturesque views across the volcanic crater out to sea and also writers looking to find inspiration in the myths and legends that are linked to the place.

If it's style your looking for the 'Homeric Poems' has everything you'll need for your stay. There are self catering facilities should you wish to take advantage of them and it is one of the many boutique hotels in Santorini that have a stunning swimming pool with poolside bar. There are sauna and massage facilities and all nineteen suites have private terraces, ideal for couples on a romantic break or individuals looking for piece and tranquility.

Watch the sun go down - One of the most exclusive boutique hotels in Santorini is Katikies. Again it is popular with honeymooners but is also popular with the monied jet set who take advantage of its ideal location and state of the art facilities to enjoy a break away from everything. The views across the ocean as the sun sets are breathtaking and worth the journey to Santorini alone.

With three swimming pools and a rooftop fine dining restaurant the Katikies is the height of luxury and even the most basic room has aprivate terrace that faces the extinct volcanic crater. There is also a villa available for hire that has seven rooms but is no less luxurious.

Old school charm - If views over the volcanic crater aren't a priority then one of the best inland boutique hotels in Santorini is 'Zannos Melathron'. The name means mansion and was built in the 19th century by Michael Zannos. Situated in the inland village of Pygros the hotel has all the charm of a a traditional cottage but with all the room and the luxury facilities that you'd expect from boutique hotels in Santorini.

There is a Michelin star quality menu in the hotel restaurant and many people consider the food to be some of the finest in the whole of Greece. With a recently opened spa and rooms that have great views due to the hotels elevated position the hotel offers a truly spectacular holiday experience.
