Sailing the Med Episode 12: Santorini in Style: -- Staying at Hotel Ikies in Oia

Santorini is the stuff of legends - and in this episode, we experience it with a touch of luxury. We have another episode on Santorini, but have had requests to do more on the hotel we chose and why, so here you are! After sailing into port, we check into Hotel Ikies, a cliffside retreat with panoramic views of the caldera. We take you inside our suite, onto the private terrace, and into the infinity pool overlooking the Aegean. From there, we wander Oia's iconic alleys, capture sunset magic, and enjoy slow breakfasts with a view. This isn't just about the destination, it's about how travel can shift your perspective. We also talk logistics - where to dock your boat, how to get to the hotel, and why shoulder season might be the best time to visit. If Santorini is on your bucket list, this episode offers both fantasy and practical planning. Please like, comment, subscribe and click the bell icon for notifications to keep in touch!
