As we have repeatedly pointed out already, the island of Santorini is at its very best in September. The weather is fine and it is far less crowded. Another plus this season is the numerous interesting events and exhibitions taking place on the island.

One of those is ARTTHIRA 2014, the first group exhibition of 35 contemporary visual artists who are directly or indirectly associated with the island. The theme of the exhibition is "Santorini today".

Extra tip: For our accommodation in Santorini, we can choose between the famous and award-winning Astra Suites at the highest point of the Caldera in Imerovigli village or the unique and arty Voreina Gallery Suites at the medieval settlement of Pyrgos, in the heart of the island. If staying in an exclusive villa seems more appealing, then we select the luxurious The Architects' House located between the settlements of Oia and Imerovigli.
