Our tip this week for a place to stay is the <a href="http://www.hotelmargarita.gr/"><b>Hotel Margarita</b></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.

The four-star provides apartment-style suites with verandas overlooking the acropolis. <p> Past reviews of the AVA really build up the hotel and its staff.
