Santorini

About Santorini

Famous for its dramatic cliffs, whitewashed buildings and breathtaking sunsets, Santorini is a picture-perfect Greek island you must visit at least once in your life. But did you know Santorini was formed after a volcanic eruption over 3,500 years ago? The island’s volcanic origins come alive in the unique topography; towering caldera cliffs add a dramatic backdrop to pristine sandy beaches.

There's endless opportunities to relax and explore across the 28-square-mile island. Visit the charming villages of Oia and Fira in the north of the island, dotted with winding streets lined with artisanal shops and tavernas. Or, you could head to Akrotiri in south Santorini, home to prehistoric sites and the Akrotiri Lighthouse. You could do it all in a day — it’s only a 50-minute drive from Oia to Akrotiri!

Whether lounging on world-class black sand beaches, sampling local wines in traditional wineries, or simply soaking in the unparalleled beauty of the caldera, Santorini promises an unforgettable experience that lingers in the hearts and minds of travellers long after they've left its shores.
