Santorini is a beautiful little island in the Aegan sea. A quick demonstration of how small it actually is, Santorini is 76 km2 while Iceland is 103.000 km2 and Australia 7.700.000.000 km2.
The island shares a lot of similarities with Iceland as they were both formed in a volcanic eruption under water. Although the two islands have very different climates; they both feature black beaches, geothermal activity, mountainous landscapes and sometimes strong winds. The island’s iconic caldera was formed thousands of years ago when the center of the island collapsed, creating the tall breathtaking cliffs that make the island so unique.
The population of Santorini is roughly 16.000 although 500.000 tourists visit the island every year. Most tourists quickly visit the island on a day tour during a cruise ship layover.
Santorini has several little villages scattered around the island. The largest ones are Fira (the capital), Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani. Fira is where most of the cruise ships dock and can therefore be a bit touristy. In the bride and groom’s humble opinion, it´s the least exciting place on the island. Oia is the most beautiful town by far; with it’s gorgeous hillside houses, stunning sunset views, amazing restaurants and just an overall calm and relaxing atmosphere. Imerovigli and Firostefani are cute little resort villages, located next to each other. The ceremony and reception will take place in Imerovigli.
Santorini’s main industry is tourism with the “high season” ranging from May-September. Your bride and groom visited the island in October 2015 which was absolutely the perfect time to visit. Mild temperatures and less crowds 😊

We are so thankful for all of you taking the time to come and celebrate with us in Santorini. Your presence is more than enough for us. But for those of you who insist, we have created a gift registry at where you can shop around for presents, which will be shipped to our home in LA. Because of space restrictions in our luggage, we kindly ask that you only bring cards to Santorini, not physical presents <3
