Santorini. All you have to do is say the name of this beautiful island in Greece, and most people state that it's on their bucket list (or they've been there already and want to go back!) For today's Celebration Saturday, I give you two reasons to celebrate in Santorini (plus one surprise!) 1. Friendship2004. What better way to celebrate the Summer Olympics in Athens. Invite good friends to come with you, and spend the weeks before exploring Greece. That's all of us on the ferry ride to Santorini, and then the view from our hotel. Note: When you visit the island, arrive via ferry, and then fly back to your original destination! Photo credits: Mike H. Here's one of my scrapbook pages from that trip. Yes, the sunsets there are as beautiful as everyone writes about, but photos do not do them justice! 2015. My son and daughter, their cousin and six friends vacationed in Santorini for 3 days and enjoyed every minute of their visit. Photo above: Oscar Boss Villa. Photo below: Andrew Ingram. 2. Honeymoon1986. Delayed honeymoon (we got married in 1984)! Scrapbook page--sorry for the quality of the photos; 29 years is a long time, I'm surprised they are still in good shape! If you're contemplating honeymooning in Santorini, I highly recommend it. Since we were young, and poorer than we are now, we did not stay in a fancy hotel on the caldera overlooking the sea, but we had just as good a time. The views are fabulous, whether from your room or your stroll at sunset. The SurpriseMy daughter is now engaged. Her fiance proposed on Santorini with sunset on the Aegean Sea as a backdrop. Where are they planning to honeymoon next year--Bora Bora is at the top of their list! Guest post time! (Photo credits above and below: Oscar Boss Villa) Though Santorini is a very romantic island, consider taking some friends along on your visit. (It's a great way to reduce the cost of a hotel on the caldera--many have two bedrooms, or one bedroom and a sleep-sofa.) More on where to go once you're there in an upcoming post in September.

What a great surprise! Congrats to the couple. I encourage Bora Bora as a honeymoon destination. We went for our honeymoon in 2011 and loved every beautiful second of it.
