Having been to both Santorini and Crete myself and been on an archaeological dig as a student I loved the descriptions and it brought the past to life for me.

Loved the story but kept at times losing interest when talking about the "The Queen" and some of the history. But loved the story and the narrator and the setting of the story

Great story

This isn't my usual type of story snd at the start I wasn't 100% convinced but it soon picked up and became a great story.as I listened I googled the frescos and it was lovely to learn along with the story. some good twists, Greek mythology, scandal, romance, female empowerment and family relationships.

The narration was great and easy to distinguish characters.

Would recommend if you're interested in geek mythology, nice story and Greece 🇬🇷

Not my usual pick but a lovely story, well told.

Secrets of Santorini is written with such colour it filled my imagination and I couldn’t wait to finish it… but at the same time I wanted to savour it too. Beautifully written, I loved it. I have a love affair with Greece and this took me back to Crete and Santorini.
Audible seems to bring the story alive, beautifully narrated.
😊

What a wonderful book!
