Caldera View

This photograph is taken from our bedroom in Santorini which had an amazing view over The Caldera opposite.

The actor Robert Wagner stayed in the hotel at the same time, having a couple of days out of his yacht as he was sailing the greek islands. I chatted with him before we booked in and he told me to barter with the owner, a 'wiley' old man who sat in his office with stunning views.

I did barter - it was 300 euros a night for a room and got him down to 300 euros for three nights!


Santorini Caldera is a large, mostly submerged caldera, located in the southern Aegean Sea, 120 kilometers north of Crete in Greece. Visible above water is the circular Santorini island group, consisting of Santorini (aka Thera), the main island, Therasia and Aspronisi at the periphery, and the Kameni islands at the center
