The Windmills of Santorini & History 🩵
There is historic importance of windmills in Santorini. Today just a few have been restored and some others have been transformed into inhabited houses or hotels while others still needs renovations.
Around 70 historic Windmills in Santorini, some long time ago abandoned in the island as well as the capital of Thira (Fira)
In our knowledge, the windmills were in use on Santorini as early as the 14th-century, however due to turbulent history (earthquakes and volcanic activity) none of these early settlement of structures remain standing to this day.
Although you’ll still find handful of windmills remain on the island-as I mentioned above the most of them since has been converted into hotels, accommodations and holiday rental homes. Today’s Santorini windmills that remains in the island were constructed from the 17th-century onwards, then converted dating from the 18th-century.

Sunset watching in Fira, Santorini is magical
Just like in postcards, I was watching the sunset over the caldera through the Aegean Sea is an experience not to be missed. It's worth a trip to explore this island, and it ticked my bucket list of places to visit. One done, more to go.
Tips: fewer tourist spots up here and not crowded.

A great find at Fira Santorini
Hotel Nisso Thira
Address: Fira, Agiou Athanasiou, Thira 847 00, Greece
Hotel Nisso Thira is located at Fira, Santorini. My flight arrived late in the evening and I wanted a dinner place nearby my hotel. Chef Mama is one of my favourite restaurant and is within 2mins walk from Hotel Nisso Thira. Plus I got a good price for my 2 nights stay (S$100 per night with breakfast).
The Central bus station is also within 3mins walk from Hotel Nisso Thira. I can use the public bus for my exploration the next day.
My room is big and clean with 1 queen bed and 1 single bed. The tv is a bit small but it doesn’t matter to me. This is because they have strong wifi! There is also a nice dipping pool at the hotel.
Money well spent!

If travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it's a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end. Surround yourself 💕

The best time to visit Santorini, Greece is definitely October. This is when the weather is still fantastic but the crowds will be at a minimum.
I truly recommend renting a car because you can freely move around from the towns of Oia, Imerovigli and Fira. Furthermore, you can explore the other side of the island that many people never see.
If you can afford it, go for the 5 star resorts when booking so you can ensure that your Santorini experience is what you've always imagined it to be. The service they provide is truly amazing!
