Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea, referring to a group of islands located to the southeast of mainland Greece.
They are one of the island groups that form the Aegean Archipelago. The Cyclades refers to the islands situated around the sacred island of Delos, one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. Delos is uninhabited and is considered the mythological birthplace of Apollo.
The wonderful island of Santorini is located 200 kilometres southeast of Athens, 150 kilometres south of Mykonos and 140 kilometres north of Crete and boasts the only habitable caldera in the world. Most of our incredible Santorini villas are situated along and built into this magnificent caldera, offering beautiful views of the Aegean Sea and smaller rugged islands to the west.
Hues of orange, pink, purple and red ascend the horizon at dusk, blending perfectly to create the most magnificent sunsets which can be seen from almost every corner of the island.
These dazzling sunsets, coupled with the authentic charm of the small winding cobbled streets and dainty boutiques and cafés inspire the island as a world-famous destination for elaborate engagements, bespoke weddings and romantic honeymoons.
At Exceptional Villas we are proud to say that our Santorini luxury villas have been thoroughly chosen and handpicked by our team of Villa Specialists to offer guests a unique and memorable trip to this wonderful island.
The distinctive architecture of the caldera villas in Santorini make up the extraordinary beauty of the island. It shares the same features with the rest of the Cyclades islands that lie in the Aegean Sea with typical white-washed houses, blue-domed Churches and paved paths.
The powerful white and blue hues of the Cycladic architecture are symbolic of Greece in that they represent the colours of the Greek flag and shades of blue, turquoise, aquamarine, sapphire, teal and azure are proudly presented at every opportunity.
The villas in Santorini resemble something straight from a postcard and those built along the caldera are recognisable globally thanks to their pristine white-washed walls, blue roofs and their extraordinary location - positioned precariously close to the dramatic cliff edge and constructed in close proximity to neighbouring villas.
Many of the Santorini luxury villas we feature are built into the caldera and boast a comfortable and serene setting. Characterised by curved walls, muted tones, clean pristine lines and the use of natural materials in the furnishings and fittings, our beautiful villas offer the utmost in luxury and elegance while also acknowledging the Greek cultural and mythological influences that have shaped the island.
