Santorini Sightseeing

Many visitors are attracted to Santorini because of its splendid archaeological and historical sites. Acquire a good map of Santorini and mark the following attractions. Probably the most famous of all is the Ancient City of Akrotiri, which is a well-preserved town built during pre-historic times. A visit to Ancient Thira is also a must while vacationing on Santorini Island. The Gizi Manor in Fira is definitely worth a visit, while we also recommend touring the museums of Archaeology, Folklore and Prehistoric Thira in Fira, as well as the Maritime Museum in Oia.

Santorini Beaches

Swimming is a joy at the beaches of Santorini. Some of the Santorini beaches are very unique because of the volcanic properties of the region. The most popular beaches are those with colourful sand, such as the Black Beach in Kamari, Monolithos and Perissa, and the Red and White beaches near Akrotiri. Armeni and Amoudi, which are located beneath Oia, are stunning, while the beaches of Baxades, Vourvoulos, Perivolos and Vlychada are also very beautiful. For a different experience, you can take a short trip to the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni and Thirassia, which are located opposite Santorini, and swim in their therapeutic waters.

Santorini Cuisine

Eating in Santorini is a culinary experience. The island is packed with tavernas and restaurants that serve delicacies like fava (lentil dip), squash balls, tomato balls, fried aubergines, sun-dried tomatoes, stuffed squid, various seafood dishes and the famous Santorinian wine.
