Lucinda’s visit to Santorini

The spectacular Santorini, jewel of the Cyclades, is a must-see destination for travelers visiting this island archipelago. We also encourage our Solos team members to see our hotels for themselves, so they are well-informed when chatting with you! In June, Lucinda, a member of the sales team, visited our beautiful property, Villa Maistrali, and gave us her feedback.

First impressions

Located on the southwest side of the island, Villa Maistrali is a warm and welcoming base from which to explore the beautiful island of Santorini. This side of the island is known for its beaches and beautiful sunrises. We were only a five minute walk from Perissa beach, which has black volcanic sand and crystal clear water, and there are plenty of bars, tavernas, shops and ATMs on the doorstep. the door.

Tell us about Santorini

Everyone talks about the sunsets in Santorini (and for good reason) but no one ever talks about the beautiful sunrises on the other side of the island, where Solos Hotel is located. Perissa beach is perfect for that! I got up early to watch it rise above the sea. It was very peaceful and that memory will stay with me.

Out and about

Tiny Oia and the main town of Fira are the places to go for shopping, cliff views and sunsets over the turquoise sea. I loved wandering the pretty whitewashed streets of Fira and finding new places to buy ice cream! Oia and Fira are both fairly easy to get to using the regular bus service, and our tour guide Debs took us there on an excursion as well.

I started lounging by the hotel pool and maybe going to a beach taverna for a Greek salad or fish for lunch and a few days I took the bus to Fira to 5pm and spent the evening there with other Solos guests.

Final thoughts?

I can not wait to return to. I was nervous before going, but I would have no qualms about taking a Solos trip myself now (not a sales pitch, I promise!). It was good to see how it worked first hand. Beginners, young and old, will be perfectly fine! You’re in good hands, you’ll have fun, and you’ll meet lots of like-minded people. Go out and live your best life, make memories and meet new people.

Thanks to Debs our Tour Leader, Villa Maistrali hosts Leah and Dimitris and bartender Davide for their hospitality and thanks also to the lovely group I got to know.
