Book A Room At This Hotel And They Will Name A Star After You

If you&rsquore ever in the mood to wish upon a star&mdasha star named after you, at that&mdashlook no further. The White Caves Suites Hotel in Santorini names a star after you with every booking. Yes, a real star that&rsquos visible to the naked eye under the bright, clear Greek sky. And no, not just the top-notch suites, this experience is available for all suites and all bookings.

Located in Fira, White Caves is a heritage structure first built in 1830. The Sigalas family built a sheepfold hewn to hide their animals from pirates who regularly invaded the island. Nearly five decades later, the cave was converted into a home. Today, the hotel offers experiences like an open-air spa and in-room cinemas, along with its more star-studded offerings.

White Caves has partnered with a star registration provider that helps facilitate the process of recording the guest&rsquos name on a star in their registry. Upon arrival, you receive a certificate with the name of your star, its coordinates, and the date the star was christened. The staff also provides a celestial map with your star&rsquos distance from the earth, its galactic latitude and longitude, along with other details.

While there are a number of services that let you name a star after yourself or a loved one, this does not mean that the new name will be used for any scientific or astronomical purpose, or that you&rsquoll &lsquoown&rsquo the star. Simply put, it&rsquos a feel-good gesture. But under the bright Santorini sky, looking up at the twinkling dots with your celestial map in hand, and spotting the one that is &lsquoyours&rsquo, well, that might just be a feeling that money can&rsquot buy.
