We would also not recommend the island to newcomers to Greece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nevertheless, Santorini is fantastically beautiful! Both the picturesque white villages and the volcanic landscape are convincing. The <strong>alleys of Oia and Fira<\/strong> are teeming with selfie freaks and Insta nerds.

In the coastal town of Kamari, with its miles of black sand beach, a number of all-inclusive hotels have settled. Even in Fira and Oia you can find hotels for package tours.

If you are looking for a little more privacy on your Santorini holiday, we recommend a <strong>Hotel in Imerovigli<\/strong> and Firostefani or directly in the hinterland. If you can, you should definitely avoid summer as a travel time.
