Santorini is a popular summer destination and you can get a direct flight from most European cities. However, there are no direct flights to Santorini from the US. We don’t recommend connecting through Athens (unless you are planning to stay a few days there) as it’s usually the most expensive. Some major cities that connect are London, Vienna, Rome, Milan, Naples, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris and more. We recommend connecting through Rome, it’s often the most inexpensive! We love Google Flight and Skyscanner to help with these searches! You can also set alerts on these sites so you get an email when prices are lowered.
Fira, Santorini's capital, is the most conveniently located city due to it's centralized location, if you were to drive from one tip of the island to the other, it would take close to 40 minutes, with being central it makes for an excellent hub as everything is close. Fira is known for its white washed houses and cliffside sunsets, it is one of the most popular cities. We highly recommend staying in or close to Fira and enjoying the many cafes, restaurants, bars, and hotels. Fira is great for all ages and budgets. Imerovigli is a beautiful village on the island of Santorini, Greece, connected to the north of Fira. Imerovigli is a less touristy option for hotels and Airbnbs. Firostefani is a charming extension of Fira. It has breathtaking views and great airbnb options. Oia is one of the most picturesque towns in Santorini. While we definitely recommend visiting, we don't suggest staying here due to its high prices and heavy traffic in the summer months.
While there are many amazing greek islands here are some we think you'd enjoy! Ios, if bar hopping and beautiful beaches are your thing! Mykonos, one of the most famous islands in the world known for its extravagant beach parties, restaurants and clubs. Crete, the largest Island in Greece, known for its various terrains! Some popular cities to stay in are Chania, Heraklion or Hersonissos. Rhodes, known for its medieval ruins and lively old city. Milos, infamous for its romantic beaches and authentic restaurants.
