Love and Romance in the most romantic setting in the world! What more do you want?

Summer Lovers is a classic! One of Daryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher's first films, it is a tale of love and romance set on the incredibly romantic Greek island of Santorini. It is about an American couple that has just graduated from college and decides to spend the summer on the island. They are in love and are going to be married when they return to the States. However, a beautiful, young French archeological student attracts the attention of Peter, and an affair ensues. Peter tells Daryl, who, surprisingly, goes to meet the other woman and they become close friends, close enough to be able to share Gallagher! This film is a must-see for anyone contemplating travel to Santorini or, for that matter, the rest of the Greek isles. The scenery alone makes the film worthwhile, and you would be surprised how little has changed since 1982! I was there in 1992 and again in '93, and it was fun traveling around by motor-scooter and recognizing a lot of the places from the film. Oh, and for anyone thinking about getting married anytime soon, Santorini makes a perfect honeymoon destination!
