Convention

Situated in Santorini Island's capital, Fira, the Petros M. Nomikos Conference Centre is easily accessible from all central Santorini hotels, and overlooks the volcano and caldera. It is a completely refurbished neo-classical mansion that can accommodate 200 participants. It is easy to get to, with frequent flights from Athens every 35 minutes.

Dining

Greeks love to eat and the Santorinians are no exception. Traditional Santorinian dishes include octopus, red snapper and calamari. Greeks take their time over food so join them and do not rush your meal. Try an outdoor dining experience at Selene in the village of Pyrgos. The restaurant has two premises, an upstairs restaurant and a cheaper downstairs bistro so it suits all pockets.

Shopping

The island of Santorini, Greece, is an exciting place to shop. The main shopping centre is found in the capital of Fira but do not miss the town of Oia, which has art deco galleries and gold shops. In the summer, the shops are open late into the night.

Major Points of Interest

Visit Akrotiri, a prehistoric city and archaeological site that used to hold up to 30,000 inhabitants in the seventeenth century B.C.E. For an unusual experience, lodge in a traditional cave house. Some of them are now exclusive villas where you can benefit from all the modern luxury you may wish for.

Sports

The island location and nature of Santorini determine what sports are most popular, with windsurfing, sailing and beach volleyball particularly prominent. Visiting the interior of the island on horseback is fun. If you feel a little less energetic, ride a donkey down to the old port from the capital.
