Day 16 - Quick Notes on Santorini

I just wanted to comment on the hotel in Santorini. It got great reviews on TripAdvisor because it was beautiful but also because it was a good deal. That's why R chose it. I'll say this, it really made the experience a great one. Just a word of advice for anyone going to Santorini, which should be everyone on the planet, make sure you make the effort to get a hotel along the edge of the calder, which means basically along the cliff. You have to have the view of the cliffs, it makes it all the better. It's more expensive, but worth it.

At the Delfini in Santorini, Sima made our stay wonderful. Besides loving children and being an incredibly warm and friendly host, there was local Greek wine and strawberries waiting for us, and the place was simply beautiful, not to mention the view. Plus, with kids, a swimming pool is key, and a jacuzzi an extra added bonus. I can't say enough how much we really enjoyed the place.

Finally, in all my travels throughout Europe, I have never, not once, been to a hotel that actually provided 110 volt converter. For those who don't know, Europe, and I think much of the rest of the world, use a different voltage than we do. They have 220 volt outlets, so in addition to having a different plug design, the higher voltage will set your electronics on fire. You have to get not only a Euro adapter, but a converter, as well to do things like charge your laptop, cell phone, or batteries.

Sima at the Delfini was the only hotel I have ever been to that provided one. That alone makes it worthwhile to stay there.

Until the next time, thanks for reading.
