Santorini's Black Sand Beaches

Day 1  Santorini      
Fly to Santorini and pick up your car. Drive to Istoria, a Member of Design Hotels, which will be your base for the next seven nights. Transformed from an original Santorinian mansion, and boasting a seafront position, this boutique getaway is effortlessly chic and perfect for those looking for a relaxing escape. After settling in, enjoy a refreshing dip in the spacious pool before watching the sun set with a drink and some sumptuous local cuisine.    

Days 2-7  Santorini  
During your stay, soak up the warm rays of the Cycladic sun at Istoria’s private beach club, located on the Perivolos black sand beach. Take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea, accompanied by fresh juices and fruit platters to stay nourished and hydrated. Venture out from your beautiful hotel to discover the beautiful architecture and viewpoints of the island, wandering through the maze-like streets of quaint villages, or hitting some of the splendid hiking paths offering impressive coastal panoramas. See the dramatic cliffs and shores of the island from afar by opting a boat or helicopter tour and be endeared by the local culture through a Greek cooking class or wood carving workshop. Or simply kick back and relax at your wonderful resort, with its extensive and reinvigorating wellness offering and amazing ‘home away from home’ residential feel.        

Day 8  Fly home      
Enjoy a leisurely morning at your hotel before dropping your car off at the airport in line with your flight home.
