Santorini Shopping

If you like me love shopping, you can agree that shopping can even be ten times better in a picturesque location. Santorini might not have the high Street shops we are used to, or all of the popular designer brands, but it definitely has the charm which you are not going to find anywhere else. I am sure all those husbands who hate shopping will love it here because of the views, especially those who are into photography. And while you are not going to find Forever 21 or Sephora, there are many boutique shops selling very sophisticated and Island appropriate clothing and shoes, as well as many shops selling handbags and jewellery. If you are into makeup then you will love Hondos center, which is a small shopping mall in the heart of Fira. Here you can also find high end brands like MAC, Estee Lauder, Dior and much more. And if you want to get your hands on the skincare goodies below, including amazing products like Korres, Caudalie and Apivita, you should head to the pharmacy located in Imerovigli's main road close to a few supermakets and bus stops.

To reach the pharmacy in Imerovigli you can either walk up the main road on the right side of the Island, or walk up the caldera side and admire the views and take a few pictures. The path is not the easiest, with loads of stairs, but is so worth the effort - especially since you get to see several hotels, villas and apartments and a few restaurants and cafes, all ofering great views. This is the path we took on a Sunday morning, right after breakfast, as we wanted to wonder around our hotel Angels & Stars. And little we knew we would step into this small pharmacy stocked with the most amazing products. I think we spent an hour inside it. And the best part of this little shopping haul, is that I got to take pictures on my beautiful patio with one of a kind background.
