The majestic island of Santorini

It should be mentioned that while the island is overcrowded – especially during high seasons – there have been built great facilities and the countless Santorini hotels can provide you with a nice stay. You just need to be sure to book the one that will be the best choice for you in order to have a pleasant residence where you will be able to relax during your vacation there. Regarding the best Santorini accommodation, one of the best options is the Veggera Hotel as it is located exactly next to the beach which means that you will have easy access at any time of the day you will like.
As far as the access to the island is concerned, the first way to go there is through ship from the port of Piraeus in Athens. Especially during the summer months, there are daily routes from and to Santorini. Based on your preference you can choose either a high-speed ship or a normal one. In the first case you will need around 4-5 hours while on the second one around 8. However, while the 8 hours might sound a lot, you get the chance to be on the deck of the ship and enjoy the sea and the sun. Last but not least the price of those two routes is usually around 50 euros for the high-speed and 25 to 30 for the normal one.

Santorini Hotels - Enjoy the summer sun with all the necessary precautions

Greece is a country full of sunlight and sea. This is also why many people decide to spend their summer time in Greece and relax on the beach while reading a book. This is also why many people prefer regarding their Santorini accommodation to book a room in one of Santorini Hotels right next to the sea and have an easy access to the beach at all times.

During the last years there has been the trend of sunbathing, with the black colour of the skin to be considered as nice and sexy.  However while sun can be a great friend, he can also be a great enemy if someone doesn’t use all the necessary protections. Don’t worry though as taking the necessary precautions is pretty simple and it can guarantee to you that you will have no bad surprises.
To being with, the first very important rule is to use sun cream. Keep in mind that you will need to refresh it frequently and especially before entering the sea. The sea water actually works as magnifying glass, causing the sunlight to become stronger and therefore, more dangerous. Additionally, around 11 am to 2 pm every day is the strongest sun. That means that you should avoid sunbathing during this time, or if you  don’t want to do so, then you should apply sun cream even more frequently and take more often some refreshing swim in the cool water. Last but not least, concerning the kids, you should make sure to use some really strong sun cream (there are even special ones for kids), while they should wear a hut and a t-shirt. It’s important to follow all those rules, as children always enjoy spending a lot of time under the sun, playing in the water or outside – on the beach.
A small tip in case you will find yourself sunburned is to use Greek yogurt. You will spread it on the burned area and you will wait for a while. Later you can wash it off and in case it’s needed, reapply. It might sound little bit weird but it is actually very effective and cheap solution.
Concerning your Santorini accommodation, staying in a hotel right next to the beach is always an ideal thing as you will have easy access at any time of the day. Furthermore, if you are the type of person that enjoys a nap in the noon, you will be able to go back to you room and return on the beach during the afternoon.
