Hi all fellow Greece fans...
I am off to get married in Santorini next summer and lots of guests are coming too. We are thinking of going for 2 weeks but don't know if there is enough to do on the island? We will be staying in Kamari...Any comments?
If you are into history then there is plenty to see. You can go across to the volcano and walk up it. Go to Oia and see the places for real that you see on Greek postcards, as well as admiring the fantastic sunsets while sipping a drink. A lot of people also do the sunset thing in the capital Thira. You get around the island by using the excellent bus service. You can also go island hopping if you run out of things to do !!
If you want to just chill out a lot and visit the island - 2 weeks....it is a very small island though so if you are not a lying by the pool person you may get a little bored.Hubby and I were happy with a week in Kamari but each to their own....but seeing as it's your honeymoon you may want to chill out more anyway after the stress of organising a wedding, or you could do a twin centre trip with somewhere like Crete....
Have a look around 'the Greek Pompeii' Akrotiri, if you like your history. See the volcano in all its glory. The lovely beach in Perissa. Good shops, great place to go island hopping. Ios just across the water if you like partying.
I should work for the Santorini tourist board, but its stunning and the weather guaranteed!
hi, i may be wrong but some time ago my friend was thinking about a greek wedding and she was informed by first choice that on many islands-not sure if this includes santorini, you have to have resided for a minimum of 7 days before you are able to marry, so i guess that 2 weeks would be your only option under these circumstances anyway, and just think of the tan you will have by the big day!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely island, but the beaches are volcanic.
It truly is a magical place and for a honeymoon it would be brilliant! Enjoy
I'm getting married in Santorini this september, and you must be resident for 7 days, so you would have to go for 2 weeks!
Hope this helps? By the way, are you the same corfuclara that's on wedding chaos forum? xx
You will love Santorini it is a beautiful island. This is a very good site for info.

Hope this is of some help.
