Santorini, the Ionian island in the southern Aegean Sea, has become one of Greece's main attractions. Famous for its incredible postcard-perfect landscapes, the paradisiacal image of white villages with blue roofs perched on top of cliffs is anchored in everyone's imagination. From the heights of the island, the horizon is breathtaking and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean basin sparkle in the sunshine that shines more than 300 days a year.
As well as its stunning panorama, Santorini has a rich history which you can experience as you wander through the maze of narrow streets or venture into the wilder corners of the island. Visit the archaeological sites and museums that tell the story of the island's origins and history.
Oia is Santorini's most famous village and the perfect destination for a romantic break. Situated on the cliff side, the small streets will allow you to reach the highest point of the caldera, from where you can watch the sublime sunsets plunging into the blue of the Aegean Sea.
A small, quiet village, far from mass tourism, it is the perfect place for a relaxing and relaxing holiday. Close to an ancient city of the same name covered by the ashes of a volcanic eruption over 3500 years ago, this place is full of history, like a Greek Pompeii.
Perissa is a lively resort in the south-east of the island and is known for its beautiful long volcanic sandy beach. During the day, enjoy a moment of relaxation under the sun by the azure sea, and in the evening, stroll into town and stop at a small local restaurant or bar to party the night away.
Located on the east side of the island, Kamari is a charming resort with a 2km long volcanic rock beach.

Whether you are hiking to the Skaros Rock or simply strolling through the small shopping streets, this is an authentic place to discover.
The capital and most important town of Santorini, Fira dominates the caldera thanks to its privileged location on the heights of the island.
