    If you mean Santorini - Greek Island - then I went last year. Very nice place, lovely scenery, not much nightlife. What sort of holiday do you want? Drinking/dancing/puking or eating/sunbathing/sightseeing - Santorini is good for the latter although I think the only nightlife is a couple of clubs in Fira. Visit the volcano, watch the sunset at Fira/Oia, climb up the mountain at Kamari and see the ancient ruins. And eat loads of lovely Greek food.

    I stayed in Kamari but the island is so small you can get everywhere within about 15 mins. Buses are dirt cheap and very frequent so no need to hire a car. Fira is the main town, built on the hillside overlooking the volcano. Oia is at one end and has the best sunsets. Kamari and Perissa are best for beaches; Fira and Oia are on the edge of the caldera so just cliffs there - plus more expensive as they cater for the cruise passengers. There is a very girly film called Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (!) which has lots of Santorini in it - make the Mrs watch it!!!!

    Edited to add, because the island is volcanic there are loads of wineries to vist as the soil is good for growing grapes!

    LOL, I'll give you a call about badminton when I get back. I'm off to Switzerland on Sunday for 2 weeks first and get back from France on 6th August.

    Have a good one!

    A Guy at work went last year & is going out again this year to get Married out there, he thinks it's perfect for couples. Sunset to rival Ibiza's apparently.
