Things to do
Oia
This wonderful coastal town is the most popular destination in Santorini. Its stunning sunset, the white-washed houses, the blue domes, and the picturesque spots are just some of the reasons Oia is a must-see. It's also known for its glamorous restaurants, some of which even offer spectacular vistas of the sunset and the island.
Ammoudi Bay
Descend the steps from Oia to the charming port of Ammoudi Bay. Surrounded by striking red cliffs and dotted with white-washed buildings, this little village features quaint tavernas serving up the catch of the day. Visitors can also enjoy swimming here and cliff diving, though the beach is rocky so bring appropriate footwear.
Fira to Oia Hike
This 6-mile hike is one of the best ways to take in Santorini and passes through the four most popular settlements (Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli, Oia). In addition to stunning ocean views and picturesque towns, there are spectacular views of Skaros Rock and the blue-domed St. Gerasimos Church. Once you hit Oia, you'll find Byzantine castle ruins open for exploration. There is no marked trail or pathway for this hike so follow the roads closest to the caldera.
Fira
With great views of the volcano, the capital of Santorini is the island's cultural and commercial center. It's filled with museums, galleries, and the largest shopping center on the island. It also hosts the best nightclubs and bars.
Santorini Wineries
Discover the age-old winemaking traditions of Santorini as you tour local vineyards and enjoy tastings of local wine varieties paired with snacks. Our wedding planner said it best, "The wine tasting activities are a MUST as Santorini is a world famous unique wines producer!"
Kamari Beach
Named U.S. News #1 thing to do in Santorini, this stretch of black sand is complemented by clear blue waters and views of the imposing Mesa Vouno hill, where you can find Ancient Thera, making for a picture-perfect Greek beach setting. The beach is family-friendly with available lounge chairs and umbrellas. Another great family beach is Perissa as it's well protected from the strong winds, well organized, and includes a water park.
Volcano Tour and Hot Springs
Sail and explore the lava islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni to approach the crater of the still-active volcano before going swimming in the green waters of the hot springs. Sailing back on the King Thiras, you'll catch breathtaking views of the cliffs dotted with villages. An unforgettable experience.
Akrotiri
Discovered in 1967, this prehistoric settlement dates back to 1500 B.C. Considered one of the most important prehistoric settlements of the Aegean Sea, Akrotiri was once a thriving port town until it was destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption, the same one that made Santorini look like it does today. Fun fact, Santorini is the leading contender for the site of the lost city of Atlantis.
