If you’re heading out of Santorini with a late flight, why not turn that final day into a mini-vacation? The Akrotiri: Departure Day Spa Package offers a chance to unwind in style, right before you leave. For just $311 per group (up to two), you’ll enjoy a calming couples’ massage, pool access, and the chance to soak up the sun in a peaceful setting. The location at the Santorini Princess Presidential Suites makes it accessible, and the experience lasts about a half to a full day depending on your plans.
What we love about this experience is its balanced focus on comfort and genuine relaxation. The outdoor pool with loungers and umbrellas is perfect for soaking up some final rays, while the aromatherapy massage promises to melt away your travel stress. Plus, the option to enjoy a leisurely lunch or dinner at the spa’s restaurant adds that extra layer of indulgence.
The only caveat?
