Vedema, a Luxury Collection Resort, Santorini

Santorini—also known as Thira—is renowned as the most beautiful of Greece’s 56 Cycladic Islands.

While the views from Thira town or Oia are enough to satisfy most travelers, even more spectacular panoramas await those who trek to small villages at higher elevations such as Imerovigli, Skaros and Pyrgos.

Diving in the Mediterranean, experiencing the big blue, watching new interesting animals, plants, lava formed bottoms, caves, drop offs; all in the crystal-clear waters surrounding Santorini and the Volcano Islands.

Start the day riding to the top! After your morning dash, visit Panagia Episkopi, the most important Byzantine monument on the island. A swim at Kamari and as soon as the sun begins to go down, a walk round Messa Gonia. As you stroll through the ruins of houses deserted by the villages after the earthquake of 1956 you can still see some traces of their daily lives here. 

Vedema Resort’s on-site art gallery, exhibiting work by native Greek and international artists, further distinguishes the resort as extraordinary. Show frequency varies. No reservations or entrance fees are required.
