<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/jcrewsantorini.jpg" class="top"> If you fail to see a connection between prepster-outfitter J. Crew and the country of Greece, pause for a moment and think of this: White. Linen. Pants. You're on a balcony in <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/city/Santorini">Santorini</a>; the wind's in your hair as you gaze out onto the sparkling sea... while you're wearing a royal blue shirt and white linen pants from J. Crew, naturally. Or a white cotton sundress and a <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/accessories/hatsscarves/PRDOVR~13713/13713.jsp">big floppy hat</a>, even! Forget the cashmere, cardigans and suiting of the Connecticut-country-club J. Crew you're thinking of; J. Crew is also known for their killer beachwear. And, appropriately, they're teaming up with <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/tablet%20hotels">Tablet Hotels </a>to give you some of that beachy stuff plus the

It's a shame, because Santorini has tons to offer. It's unlike the other islands in the Cyclades in that it's a volcanic island, with black sand beaches, a huge caldera (parts of which you can swim in), and some of the most fantastically clear light you've ever seen (or seen through) in your life. Volcanic soil is also fertile

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/PerivolasInfinityPool.jpg" class="imgborder"> A while back we tipped you off that the pool at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Perivolas/local/993">Perivolas</a> on Santorini, Greece had the best views from a pool in the world--but we failed to mention that this pool is one of our most favorite variety, an infinity pool.And it's one helluva infinity pool. Not only does its edge drop into the horizon, the horizon is a picturesque Greek island scene of more blue water and uninhabited islands. It's their own publicity that says this, but it mightn't be too far from the truth: this pool is "one of the most magnificent settings on earth".As far as accommodation goes (unless you really do want to spend your entire holiday next to this pool,

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/margarita_santorini.png" class="imgborder"/>Think sunny Greece, think warm Greek islands, think photogenic architecture and you're on Santorini. Our tip this week for a place to stay is the <a href="http://www.hotelmargarita.gr/">Hotel Margarita</a> at Firostefani, allegedly one of the most beautiful parts of Santorini. The rooms at the Margarita look pretty much like an interior version of the external white and blue Santorini, with bright, happy color and a relaxed summer feel. There's a swimming pool for kids, and the adults version which includes a pool bar. And they say you can see the sunrise from the balcony of every room.On top of all that, you get airconditioning, a fridge for any drinks you don't get from the pool bar, and satellite TV
