Sites of Santorini: My Recommendations

Photos by me

I'm sure at this point you're probably like "OK, I get it. You went to Santorini and it was just FAhhhhBULOUS. But like can we move on now, please?" Yes, yes we can folks. After this one last post. I promise. I just have so many beautiful photos I wanted to share and besides the shots I also wanted to give a few recommendations for things to do and see on this beautiful island. 

Food.

We were recommended Prince by a local on Kamari Beach and it did not disappoint. Treat yo self to a delicious chocolate covered waffle with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Elia on Kamari Beach was by far my favorite restaurant we went to during the trip. It's a bit more pricey but worth it if you are interested in a nice dinner. The mussels and apple pie were fantastic. I already mentioned Sunset Cafe in Oia in my Part 1 post. It's a great place to watch the sunset and the salmon comes topped with a wasabi cream sauce. So good. Tavern by the Sea on Kamari Beach wasn't anything too special but we made friends with the beach boy so I have to recommend it. He was so sweet. It actually is a good spot for lunch if you just want some traditional Greek food. Plus you get free PADDED beach chairs and an umbrella if you eat there, so why not? 

Nightlife.
Although Santorini isn't known for the nightlife (Mykonos is a better option if that's what you are interested in) Perissa and the capital city of Fira have clubs that stay open late. My mom and I stuck around Kamari and checked out Albatross Beach Club one night which had a pretty good DJ. Nice atmosphere if you just want to sit and chill with friends and have some great drinks. 

Shopping.

Literally the island is completely geared toward tourists (not in a bad way) so for shopping there are, no exaggeration, hundreds of shops. We explored several along the beach in Kamari and on the cliffs of Oia. Of course, my favorite was all the beautiful jewelry! Greece is know for the famous evil eye symbol which has been something I've always been interested in so I definitely stocked up on some bracelets and a necklace to ward off those evil thoughts that might come my way ;)

That's all I got! I hope you enjoyed my Santorini recaps. Next week I'm onto my reviews of my new home away from home, Firenze!

Barefoot in Santorini

Tunic bought from a shop on Kamari Beach, Ray-Ban Sunglasses

I'm back from a much needed week off. It was so wonderful spending quality time with my momma at the beach! These photos were taken at the hotel we stayed at on Kamari Beach in Santorini, Greece. I have more photos to share from the trip but in the meantime let's discuss it a little.

Y'all... Best. Holiday. Ever. No but seriously, Santorini is a little dream world. I loved it so much. Kamari is one of the villages located on the island and it's actually one of the few beach spots. Most of the villages, like the famous Oia, are situated up on these giant cliffs that overlook the Aegean Sea. So, if you are ever in Santorini and want to stay on the beach and relax go with Kamari. I also recommend our hotel, Kamari Beach Hotel. It has an amazing pool and bar where they serve food, cocktails and some of the best cold coffee I've ever had (um, frappes with ice cream, yes!!!). Also, free sunbeds and an umbrella on the beach in front of the hotel are included when you book. Kamari is also home to tons and tons of shops and restaurants which my mom and I took full advantage of. I bought this beautiful tunic at a little vintage store right by the hotel. It was the perfect cover up and was light weight enough to keep me cool in the extreme heat and humidity.

I have lots of tips and suggestions for things to do if you are ever in Santorini coming up this week so stay tuned!
