Santorini is quite nice but not like other Greek islands. Where are you going in Santorini?

Forty five days to go............ :thumbup:

Everyone I have spoken to who has been to Santorini has told me its the most beautiful place, stunning, gorgeous, etc etc. I have never heard anyone yet refer to it as "quite nice" but I guess that may have something to do with your age? I am aware its different to most places I have been to, mainly because of the geology of the place, but the sheer beauty and drama of the scenery attracts. We love the Greek way of life, the food, and the hot sun, so it will be perfect hopefully.

We are in Perissa which along with Kamari are the only resorts with beaches and sand as I like to sit near the sea and swim too. We go to relax, chill, sit in the sun, swim a bit, have a few drinks in a local bar, enjoy good traditional food and maybe meet and chat to like minded people. If you want loud music and clubs, I would heads to Malia, Ayia Napa, Laganas, Faliraki....etc. Not for me, though. I am hoping Santorini will be as enjoyable as Rhodes was, having been there twice in the past 2 years. We much prefered it to Kos and Zante.

Lefkas is a greatr choice for Rose, I am sure she will enjoy it. Its on my list of places to go, along with Kefalonia which I know she was also considering. I personally dont think you can go far wrong with the Greek Islands, as long as you avoid the usual "young and lively" spots.

Hope everyone has a great summer. I am not going to be on here much for a while. The recent job situation has been hard to deal with, and I have been rushed off my feet looking for a new job, and now that I have one, trying to win back my former clients. Its going to be a long hot summer for me, as I need to getmy head down and get stuck in to the new job. I guess I have to be thankful I have one bearing in mind whats happened, and what state print is in....

See you all back in the colder months ahead, once the white stuff starts falling again!!!

Are people on here alot in the summer months anyway?

Good luck with the getting clients back!

I think people tend to forget about their skiing during the summer months, but they will be all back come September... 8)

Speak for yourself! I think about skiing all year round. However, its easier to think about other things AS WELL during the summer. It certainly helps focus the mind on skiing when there is snow falling across the Channel.

I am one of those people who doesnt like the mountains for holidays other than skiing when there is snow on them. I know a lot of skiers tend to go on walking, biking or even relaxing holidays up in the mountains. However, the summer months for me mean a chance to soak up some hot sun on a gorgeous beach somewhere gazing out to sea in peace and quiet. Its back to the mountains once it gets cold.

Happy summer, everyone!

I agree with Tony_H, not esp interested in the mountains as a summer hol.

Just come back from the Scilly Islands with the kids for half term, it was absolutely magical and am recommending it to anyone who will listen.

Have gone a bit bonkers (or rather Mrs T has) sorting out future holidays: got Italy in the summer, skiing at Christmas, and even Easter next year sorted.

Have a good summer everyone, and offer silent (or even vocal) prayers to whatever you believe in for a season like last year.
