Things to do in Santorini

 

SANTORINI

1. ATV

This is the first thing you want to do right after checking into your hotel: Rent an ATV and explore the island! We rented at Motor Inn. The owner was amazing and gave us some recommendations about the island.

2. Red Beach

To be frank, this beach didn't impressed me. The water was full of seaweed and the area was signed as dangerous. There is another beach called "white beach" in that same side of the island. this one is only accessible by boat . Didn't have the privilege to visit it :(

3. Akrotiri

This is an archaeological site. Similar to Pompeii, this town was destroyed by an earthquake and a volcanic eruption. Step into this 4th millennium BC village and discover their remaining secrets. 

4. Kamari Beach

Kamari is 40min driving from Oia. This place is unique for its black & rocky sand. There is this seaside main street full of restaurants and shops. If you consume in one of the restaurants, they will give you for free a sun-bed and umbrella. This one is quiet and peaceful.

5. Fira

Santorini is all about beautiful towns with white buildings and colorful flowers. Fira is worth visiting. Seems small but once you start walking through those narrow streets, you will find the real beauty of it.

6. Oia

Santorini is beautiful, but if you don't have that many days to spend in the island, don't bother visiting each corner. Oia is a town you want to spend your hours and days in. It is not only about the sunsets. The streets are beautiful like brand new. I will recommend to book your hotel here.

7. Ammoudi Bay

This is a hidden stop in your trip. An old pier now full of restaurants. Book a table in advance if you want to watch the sunset from here (is less crowded). My advise, keep walking, pass the restaurants and keep walking. You will find at the end of the path a cliff where people jump into the most clear waters of Santorini.

8. Caldera

Other attraction in Santorini is taking a sailing tour. Boats will make stop around the island that are only accessible by boat.

9. Ferry - Island Hopping

It is time to change islands. Where you want to go next?
