Be A Happy Cave Dweller In Imerovigli

Sep 24, 2016
Daily

In the laid-back, alabaster-hued village of Imerovigli on the Greek island of Santorini, adventurous luxury seekers can drench themselves in Aegean sunshine above a prehistoric caldera on the terrace of their room at Iconic Santorini boutique cave hotel. The 5-star hideaway is literally tucked into five separate levels of the towering volcanic cliffs, with each room providing a unique oasis with authentic Greek style and décor. Among a host of stellar amenities are oversized COCO-MAT four-layer bedding, Aesop bath products, complimentary WiFi and inviting seating spaces on personal wrap-around terraces with jetted grotto pools overlooking the caldera. In the kitchen, Chef Konstantinos Avgoulis treats guests to a menu inspired by the rules of gastronomy laid out by the ancient Greek philosopher Archestratos, highlighting pure, natural ingredients prepared in balanced, complementary combinations. Though the recipes may be ageless, the ingredients are fresh and succulent. Chef Avgoulis is dedicated to the use of locally sourced produce, seafood, cheeses and other ingredients such as honey. To accompany the menu, the wine list offers more than 40 Greek red, white, rosé and dessert wines born in the local volcanic soils, including selections from the much-lauded Estate Argyros winery.

Stroll the Captivating Barrios of the Chilean Capital

Santiago is divided into comunas (districts) and then into barrios (neighborhoods). Founded in 1541 by Spain, Santiago suffered repeatedly from earthquakes, floods and civil disorder. It is no wonder its barrios are unique and distinct — some with steep terrain crawling up into the foothills of the Andes, some sitting close to the urban center and boasting busy cafés, music clubs, restaurants, food markets, and new residential and commercial high-rises.

Switzerland’s Lavaux Region Tempts Wine Lovers with Bottles They Can’t Get Back Home

Switzerland’s most famous exports — impeccably designed timepieces and luscious chocolate — are available around the world. Its wine, on the other hand, proves as elusive as an easy ascent up the Matterhorn. The Swiss understandably prefer to keep most of it for themselves, to sip après ski alongside bubbling fondue pots of melted Emmental. If you want to taste their homegrown beverage, imbued with crisp mountain air, intense sunlight and sparkling glacial waters, you might have to jump on a plane.
