Sitting close to the southern tip of Santorini, this apartment is treated to a glorious view of the Cretan Sea and better still, a large Jacuzzi from which to luxuriate while watching the sun dipping beneath the horizon. As well as that, you've also got a garden and an alfresco dining table, so you really can spend countless hours enjoying this panorama.

There will come a point when you eventually have to retreat inside and while it may be modestly sized, there's a lot to like about the apartment, particularly the design, which lies on the minimalist side of things. The whitewashed walls work well with the ample amount of natural light that comes in through the windows, and both the kitchen and bathroom are suitably sleek in style, as well.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the island, Vlychada beach lies a short walk away and Perivolos beach is a little further away but still reachable by foot. There's a sprinkling of restaurants and taverns nearby, but Fira Town is 12km away if you want a wider choice, along with a wealth of distinctive whitewashed architecture.
