Our Family




Our ancestors were among the first ship owners, sailing to Alexandria, Egypt and Russia. They were shoemakers, department store and land owners. They were the first to re-build a hotel after the earthquake of 1950 (The Theoxenia Hotel in Fira). They were the first hosts to Aristotle Onassis, Maria Calas, Jackie Kennedy and many others on Santorini.

Since then, we have continued our tradition in hospitality. We have built the Aressana Hotel (in Fira, 1992), Villa Nefeli Traditional Apartments (In Oia, converted from an old captain's house, 1992), and the Theoxenia Hotel, which was completely re-built again (Winter 2000-2001).

Today, three generations are working together in all areas of hospitality, retail (Atlantis Gold & Silver), and wedding planning. Among us, we hold degrees in Hotel Management, Food & Beverage and Public Relations. Educated in the U.S.A., England, and Greece, we have aimed to broaden our horizons in order to provide the highest quality products for you.

Now, we will carry on with our family tradition and always strive to deliver unparalleled services. The Weddings in Santorini family will always cherish the past, respect the present and anticipate the future.

We look forward to a future with you,

The Mendrinou Family
