Although the hotels of Santorini love to pamper you and do all they can to give you a relaxing experience, they can also provide you with the fun and excitement of outdoor sports. After all, the hotels' restaurants certainly want you to work up a healthy appetite to enjoy their delicious offerings!

Many of the hotels provide you with activities without even leaving their grounds. Most offer swimming in their clear, clean pools and some are situated on their own private beaches for dips into the magnificent Aegean Sea. Larger Santorini hotels have fitness centers with exercise equipment and saunas. Your hotel staff can introduce you to the myriad outdoor activities available on Santorini and, in most cases, arrange for your action-packed excursions.

As you might expect, much of the outdoor activity on this sun-splashed Greek island centers around the sea. You may swim, scuba dive and snorkel in the deep blue waters of the Aegean. For added excitement, your hotel guides may steer you toward jet skiing and water skiing as well as wind surfing and kite surfing. If you desire a seagoing experience, your hotel can book sailboat, motorboat, and kayak rentals. And don't forget to allow some time for fishing.
