Santorini is famous for its cliffside houses, painted white with turquoise doors and windows, overlooking the azure sea. Be it for a romantic honeymoon or a family holiday, this island promises stunning sunsets at Oia, historic sites, vineyards, and delicious local eats. For your Santorini holiday house, pick options such as a romantic villa with a rooftop hot tub, or even a windmill with its own kitchen and pool.
Santorini's cuisine
Take a break from your sightseeing for some gyros, pita bread stuffed with pork or chicken and crunchy veggies. Peinas Minas and Yogi’s Gyros are two local favourites. Munch on local cheese, prosciutto, and barley rusks with different varieties of wines like Assrytiko and Vinsanto at the Venetsanos winery, as you savour gorgeous views of the caldera. Bakeries like Erotokritos make spanakopita, a feta and spinach pie, tyropita, a layered cheese and egg pastry, and the delectably sweet baklava.
Nightlife in Santorini
Fira is the centre of nightlife on Santorini. The romantic Casablanca Soul Bar, or atmospheric bars with caldera views like the Tango or the PK Cocktail, are amongst the most sought-after. Hit Mamounia for traditional or modern Greek music, or Two Brothers, Murphy’s, or Highlander for raucous crowds, international perfomers, and great cocktails. The promenades at the villages of Kamari and Perissa are lively party scenes with open-air beach bars, DJ nights, and night-long events.
Excursion destinations in Santorini
Swim in the sparkling blue sea between craggy coves, and dig into local delicacies just steps from the water at Fish Tavern Katina at Oia's Ammoudi Port. Stroll through the Bronze Age ruins of Akrotiri, admiring small terracotta figurines and other ancient Minoan artefacts dating from 1450 BC. Get your camera ready and hike the Fira-Oia route to admire the caldera's clifftop towns of Oia, Fira, Imerovigli, and Firostefani. Admire the iconic whitewashed sugar cube-like houses and blue-domed churches.
