If you have been following my blog and Instagram for awhile now then you already know that I love photographing weddings, my sweet pup and of course, my travels. So when it came time for my husband and I to decide on our next destination we agreed on Santorini, Greece. I knew I’d be in photography heaven! After a long flight to Athens followed by a quick flight to Santorini, we finally arrived at the Canaves Oia Hotel. This hotel was located on the northwest tip of Santorini in the picturesque village of Oia and this location provided us with the most stunning view of the Caldera and jaw dropping sunsets.
Each day was filled with sunshine, exploring and eating delicious {& super healthy!} food. The local restaurants served such wonderful meals. Fresh fish, salads made with local ingredients and refreshing white wine indigenous to the island of Santorini. Each night we would walk through the village of Oia in order to try a different place for dinner. Each restaurant rested on the cliff overlooking the Caldera which only amplified the romantic feeling this beautiful island had to offer. We ate at places such as the Red Bicycle , Floga and Ambrosia and indulged in delicious gelato every single night.
One of the days we were there we decided to go sailing in order to swim at the different beaches around the island as well as the sulfur springs. We started our adventure at Amoudi Bay which is a quaint fishing village in Oia. This was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves being on the water. Another afternoon was spent photographing one of my beautiful couples on their honeymoon. This was an incredible experience and I’ll share more in a separate post in a few weeks.
One last thing I should mention. I absolutely loved being a guest at the Canaves Oia Hotel. Everyone who worked there made our stay incredible. The staff was warm and welcoming and they truly went above and beyond in order to give us the best experience. The rooms were gorgeous, the food was phenomenal and the view was out of this world. The Canves Oia is perfect for honeymoons and/or a vacation with someone special. I hope to return someday in the future!
