Visit the stunning beaches

This island may not have the endless, white sand beaches - but they certainly are stunning! For example, the Red Beach is a rare and amazing sight, with its red cliffs, black volcano lava sand and azure sea. It is a heaven for photographers and swimmers alike. Watch out for mid-season crowds!

Enjoy the picturesque Oia village

When you look up Santorini on the web, chances are the first picture you get is one from Oia village. Its whitewashed buildings with blue ornaments and domed roofs, infiniti pools and narrow streets are the signature of this island, and very much worth a visit!

Pay a visit to a living volcano

This volcano is the force that gave birth and shape to the island, its architecture, its wine and its amazing beaches. The black and red lava stones sit in contrast to the white buildings, and guard a set of hot springs which you can swim in.

Get a wine tour

The volcanic soil in Santorini, and its hot Mediterranean climate, gave birth to an amazing and world-renowned wine culture. The wine tours are frequent and important part of the tourist attractions on the island, and something that you should definitely put in your itinerary.

Discover the ancient Akrotiri

Greece is not Greece without its ancient roots. The village of Akrotiri holds a 6500-year old secret waiting for you to discover it! This old city of Minoan origins, first built in 4500 B.C. and later destroyed by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, offers must-see guided tours.

Tour the surrounding islands

Jump on one of many ferries and start exploring surrounding islands! Well-known destinations such as Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Ios, and Crete are a boat trip away! Of course, some of these are a bit far, so we can also recommend a longer stay on Santorini if you want to explore these islands!
