The
balcony at Avianto Suites is the
consummate balcony experience and
since the beginning it remains the best of
the best. Sadly though, it's a
little rich for the likes of me, or for
that matter, bestbalconies.com. But
as my partner's sixtieth birthday
approached and hints of a birthday dinner
in Greece emerged, so to did
thoughts of Santorini and Avianto.
And as good timing would have it (early
November), the price was half that
of peak season. But even at 150 euro
it was steep, but worth it: because how
often do you get to drink champagne in a
bubbling hot tub, on a white stone
balcony whilst smoking a cigar and
watching the stars. And in the day,
being awed by the pure beauty of the
crystal Aegean and the surrounding
volcanic islands and turning your head to
take in the whitewashed homes that step
down over the caldera cliff. And
when you wake in the morning, it
starts again, but this time with one of
the finest breakfasts you'll ever have -
delivered directly to your balcony - with
champagne - and a smile.
The walkway to your balcony is the same as your neighbours, so, be discreet with your hot tub antics.
