Near the sea and near the moors - fantastic situation for everything. Great carbon-free getaway for two.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18683 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12824 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12824 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10879
Oia hostel is a great, clean and cheap place to stay (and Santorini certainly isn't cheap). It's very un-hostel like in a positive way and in an excellent location.

Ammoudi port is the best place for a swim in Oia; however the climb back up to the village is pure torture. It is a rocky cove with the clearest water I have ever seen, but space is limited so get there early.

Visiting vineyards is a must, especially as most have small restaurants attached.

Also, Atlantis Books is a rare find of a bookshop anywhere in the world. It is in Oia centre and must be visited, international literature, and the shop is a delight.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10879 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10819
You can enter and walk around most buildings - even go upstairs and walk in gardens - and there are few of the restrictions you'll find in Pompeii. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was spookily almost deserted.

In the summer, the amphitheatre often hosts open air performances of folk and opera. A real find. Plus you can round off the day with a swim with the surf girls and boys at Rome's funky beach suburb, Ostia, a train stop away at Lido Centro.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10819 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10776
The parking lot is located close to the Sulphur Mountain Gondola tramway, which whisks tourists up the mountain to a viewpoint and teahouse on the peak.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10776 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7064 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4329 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4329 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2944 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2944 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2842 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2842 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1680 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1680 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1302 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1302 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1152 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1152 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/910 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/910 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/897 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/897 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/797 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/797 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/788 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/788
