Hotel Fira Blue Horizon review. Greece.
My honest review: Hotel Fira Blue Horizon, Main Street, Fira, 84700, Greece. At the centre of Fira, Blue Horizon offers spacious rooms within walking distance of the bus station and 6.2 miles from Athinios main port. A snack bar with sea views serving breakfast, refreshing drinks and light snacks is featured. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas.We aim to offer you a home-from-home environment. Clean and spacious, simple yet attractive, is the style we chose. At the same time, we kept the traditional colours and style inherent to Santorini; blue, white and wood. Tiled floors offer an added coolness to the rooms.In Fira, you are surrounded by a blend of Venetian influences and typical Cycladic architecture, plus many bars, restaurants, nightclubs and shops. We speak your language!Fira Blue Horizon has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 18 Dec 2009.

Our Blue & White story of Santorini !!!
Why blue you ask? Why not red, brown, green or yellow?
Well, at first people used any colour they wanted to paint their buildings, but blue became the most common because it was cheap and readily available.
A blue-tinted cleaning agent called “loulaki”, that was used for washing clothes, reacted with the limestone plaster and when a few tablets were dropped into it, it dyed the solution blue. It was a common product that most households would have on hand and, because the whitewashing was done up to three times a year, was often the easiest color to default to.
It wasn’t until 1967, when a military government was in power in Greece, that the other colors disappeared for good. Thinking that the blue and white showed unification, and supported their political agenda, this government mandated that all buildings must be repainted in blue and white if they weren’t already.
The colour combo quickly became a trademark of the islands in the late 1960s and, attracted to the money coming into the country from a jump in tourism, in 1974 the government made it a law that all houses must be painted in the beautiful Greek colors of white and blue.
The only thing that can compete with the stunning colors of the buildings are the colors found in a Greek sunset!

MILOS GREECE TRAVEL GUIDE 2019 (Worst Thing Happened On The Most Beautiful Island In Greece)
MILOS GREECE TRAVEL GUIDE 2019 the Worst Thing Happened On The Most Beautiful Island. In today’s vlog we’re going over the top things to do in Milos from where to stay in Milos to what to do on the island. We go over the best beaches in Milos Greece and how to get to Milos.
Milos is known for it's crystal blue water beaches, beautiful sunsets and being the best island in Greece for relaxation. This island is a lot less touristy than somewhere like Santorini or Mykonos and can offer you the same stunning views with more affordable accommodation. You can get easily get budget accommodation for under $100 US per night and the average 5-star hotel can be found for under $500 which compared to the other popular islands like Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and other greek islands is very well priced.
The best way to get to Milos is by taking a ferry from Athens which will take you around 5-7 hours or you can fly which will take you 35 minutes. Or even better take a ferry from another island like Santorini which has high speed ferries.
If you do arrive by boat you’ll get into the Adamas port this area is the hub for the island and is a great place to stay if you don’t have a car and want easy access to boats for day trips and busses around the island. There’s also lots of restaurants here and shopping.
If you want something more picturesque staying in Plaka which is the main capital of Milos will give you all those greek vibes because it looks quite similar to Santorini. Since it’s located on top a hill you get the best sunsets in Greece here.
Pollonia is another recommended spot to check out which is a fishing village located on the northeast tip of the island of Milos
One of the top things to do in Milos is to take a boat tour around the island this gives you a chance to see Milos from a different perspective and to see spots around the island that are only accessible by boat. On this boat tour we saw Klima Village, which was actually Milos first port, the bear rock, caves, Sarakinkio beach and a had a bunch of stops for swimming.

Rivari Hotel Review. Santorini, Greece.
Rivari hotel was the perfect quiet stay from the not so far busy little town of Fira. Rivair Hotel is located in the town of Kamari which has more relaxing vibes and less of a crowd. Ideal for a traveling family like us!
Arriving to the hotel we even lost the desire to even leave the property. Rivari hotel had everything our family needed to unwind. Our family sun bathed by the grand pool most of our stay. The pool was perfect for young kids and us older folks. Having a shallow side for the kids and a deeper end for the adults to take a full plunge satisfied us both. The hotel provides a variety of floating devices and toys for all ages. If the pool didn't tire our daughter out, she would run around in the mini playground they have on site for younger kids.
Whenever we were hungry we could just simply order food from the bar to eat. When we wanted to switch it up we just took a 7-10 minute walk to Kamair boardwalk with a wide array of bars, restaurant, and a 24 hour supermarket.
Checking into our hotel the staff didn't seem very attentive. The staff didn't really effect our stay, but it does make a big difference when the staff ensures you that you have everything you need and there are no issues upon checking in & during your stay. Staff that don't do that bare minimum and go out their way can brighten up a guest stay!
The only inconvenient thing about our stay was that there is only wifi in public areas. Meaning there is no wifi in your room, and only in the lobby, pool area, and playground area. In a way in forced our family to get off our phones and looked at each other, but I do also enjoy having to do work on my laptop in my own comfort place alone.
Our family stayed in the superior double room along with a request of a toddler crib for our daughter. Our room was very comfortable and spacious for a family of 3. Our room was clean and came with a blow dryer, refrigerator, and free toiletries. The traditional Greek blue and white colors of our room gave us cool ocean vibes. We loved it! We also had a balcony outside our door, which was nice to sit outside and watch our daughter run around outside from afar.
We recommend Rivari Hotel if you want a family-friendly environment on a budget stay. The location is quite convent and secluded, but close enough to get around the different parts of the island of Santorini.
