Oceans of Love On a windswept beach With endless views He dropped to one knee And proclaimed the news Of the thousand places He could have been He declared he’s lost If I’m not with him And so he asked On bended knee If I would join him And sail the seas Through storms and gales And gentle tides He beseeched me To stand by his side To trim the sails to hoist the jib To pull together To chase the wind And I exclaimed In pure delight That I would joyfully share this wondrous life And so dear friends Before ere long We will call on you To join with us in song A song of love of joy of peace A song we wrote on a windy beach A song that will lift our spirits high And forever prompt our love to fly John Charles Thomas Copyright June 1, 2023 All Rights Reserved

Flight
Getting to Santorini is possible by plane and ferry boat. Santorini has an international airport which accommodates daily flights from Athens, and most European cities. There are also ferry boats from Athens (Piraeus) and the port of Lavrio.
Travel Note
The High Speed Ferries are the quickest way to get from Athens to Santorini, however they don't allow for much sight-seeing of other islands. There are slower ferries that allow for more "island hopping" feel and are cheaper.
Travel Note
This is one of the main booking venues for all kinds of ferries from Athens to Santorini.
Rental Car
Santorini is a biggish island so if you wish to explore, we advise that you consider renting a car, a scooter or an ATV prior to your arrival. There is transportation available through Kalestesia during your stay however you may have to share rides with other guests.
One would not imagine that a barren, volcanic island in the middle of the Aegean Sea is capable of producing good wine! Santorini has many vineyards that produce excellent wine. We are partial to Venetsanos Winery, one of the oldest on the island which offers wine tastings with a spectacular view !
Santorini has a wonderful archaeological site at Akrotiri. The Akrotiri peninsula of Fira (the ancient greek name for Santorini) was a beacon for mariners and sea merchants. The archeological site is a short hike from our Wedding venue, which is also situated on the quiet Akrotiri peninsula part of the island.
Traveling to Mykonos from Santorini on the high speed ferry takes 2-4 hrs one way. Mykonos is a well known island among celebrities. If you wish to island hop during your trip, we recommend the islands: SIFNOS, FOLEGANDROS, MILOS, NAXOS and SERIFOS as options for island hoping on your way to and from Athens. There is also an airport in Santorini and you can fly to Mykonos for the day and back !
To arrive in Santorini you can either fly or take a ferry boat from Athens. Please visit the Travel section for more information.
