You remember a city by its sunset, you recognize it by its sunrise, and you can never forget it.
Who hasn't dreamed of visiting Santorini? Get ready to discover an island filled with pleasure and history, with its stunning sunsets and whitewashed blue-domed houses.
When it comes to the Greek islands, Santorini is one of the first that comes to mind, with its blue-domed houses, Caldera views, and breathtaking sunsets. Unlike the wild nightlife of Mykonos, Santorini is the most romantic of the Cyclades! The island has a crescent shape and is surrounded by very high cliffs. The most captivating feature of Santorini is its ability to offer the grandeur of capturing the entire landscape in a single frame.
The island is home to beautiful villages such as Oia, Fira, and Imerovigli. Fira is the capital and the liveliest part of the island. With its churches, museums, and bougainvillea-filled courtyards, it has a unique ambiance. Fira has a cosmopolitan touch, with a cultural atmosphere provided by museums and art galleries. Oia, on the other hand, is the most beautiful village, famous for its postcard-perfect scenery and breathtaking sunsets.
Before leaving Santorini, you must taste the white wines made from the Assyrtiko grape and visit the wineries. With 3,000 years of experience passed into their wine, you’ll find plenty of options on this island.
The 10 km hiking trail along the edge of the Caldera from Fira to Oia, formed after the volcanic eruption in 1600 BC, is an iconic walk in Santorini. If you’re going to do this 3-hour hike, we recommend wearing comfortable clothes.
