A recently built, ultra romantic retreat for style conscious dreamers and honeymooners, Homeric Poems is a small boutique-style hotel, decorated with quirky flair and perched on a cliff-top terrace at Firostefani, on the outskirts of the island capital.

It may be stretching a point to claim as we do that Santorini’s sunsets are known as the best in the world but they are certainly up with the best and Homeric Poems has a splendid location from which to watch them.

The main swimming pool on a lower cliff-top terrace also looks out on the magnificent blue bay of the Caldera and the neighboring islands.
