MOONLIGHT APARTMENTS, Santorini

Nestled on the gently rolling slopes above Fira, this hotel treats its guests to some breath-taking views over the Aegean Sea. The bright and spacious apartments are decorated throughout in soft colours and offer a cosy seating and dining area, plus a well-equipped kitchenette where one can prepare some home-like meals. Those who don't feel like cooking will be within a 20-minute stroll from the restaurants and bars in the city centre, where they can try some of the delicious local dishes or relax over a chilled glass of wine. For little sightseeing they can pay a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Thera, which is just 750 metres away, while those who want to dip their toes in the sea will be a 15-minute walk from the black sand beach of Exo Gialos. For the ones who don't feel like walking, the venue boasts an excellent outdoor pool and a sun terrace.
