About Santorini
Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera. They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles.
The town of Oia is as charming as ever. You will feel you have been catapulted into a fairy tale world, where every little street leads to some breathtaking views and quirky cafes. Stroll up and down the town to experience fine shopping or savour some traditional Greek dishes. Time will fly as you experience one of the most enchanted places on earth.
Santoríni’s black, volcanic-sand or pebble beaches are as much experiences as bathing venues. Perivólas and Vlyháda are probably the most visited due to their easy access and stunning natural landscape. Both beaches are located in the far south of the island and can be reached by public bus.
Two of the best hiking routes among many go from Períssa to Kamári, past post-eruption ancient Thera, and along the caldera edge from Imerovígli to Oía. For a sense of the ancient volcano’s lingering power, take a day trip to the caldera islets with their shoreline hot springs and clinker surfaces. It will be a one in a lifetime experience.
