So after battling through the traffic we made it to Hotel Indigo which is right on the beach, at the Southern end of Seminyak. Check in was a fiasco so we headed to the beach for the traditional Bintang on beanbag while watching the sunset.

We chose to stay in Imerovigli in the middle of the island at On The Rocks hotel, one of the many white washed buildings built in the side of the cliff around the once volcano, prime location for the famous sunsets! The second … Continue reading Santorini. August 2017 →
