About
Discover the history of Santorini
Santorini, a volcanic island in the Cyclades, is renowned for its whitewashed villages, Fira and Oia, perched above the caldera. The sunny climate, particularly from April to October, encourages swimming in the turquoise waters of black and red sand beaches, such as Red Beach and Kamari Beach. The narrow streets of Fira and Oia are lined with shops, cafés and terraces overlooking the Aegean Sea, while surrounding vineyards offer local wine tastings. Sailing trips allow you to sail along the caldera and watch the sunset, a particularly sought-after moment in Oia. Hikes between Fira and Oia offer panoramic views of the island and the volcanic archipelago.
