What a better place to celebrate your very special day and begin your
life together than the world famous, romantic and unique island of Santorini?
In 2001 Santorini island voted by the readers of "Travel and Leisure"
magazine as the most popular European island.
In 2002 the "Travel Channel" selected Heliotopos Hotel on
Santorini as the number one wedding destination in the world (see below).
The German "Gala" magazine refers in its August 1st, 2002
issue that Santorini is considered a "celebrity hideaway"
destination.
The island of Santorini is the southern most island of the Cycladic
group in the Aegean Sea, and is located 63 nautical miles north of Crete.
Its surface area is 73 sq. km. and its population, distributed among
thirteen villages, just exceeds ten thousand seven hundred souls, according
to the census of 2001.
The present-day crescent shape of the island is a consequence of the
activity of the volcano in prehistoric times. The island itself owes
its very existence to the volcano.
Here in Santorini we enjoy bright and sunny weather, which create conditions
that are perfect for photographs and videos under an extraordinary variety
of natural lights and colors.
The island offers a magnificent setting, quality dining and entertainment,
and a rich history to explore, dating back to the Bronze Age.
