Cyclades, Greece
Santorini
Whitewashed villages on the rim of a volcanic caldera.
Santorini's villages sit on cliffs above a flooded volcanic caldera. Sunset in Oia is famous and busy; quieter moments come from walking the caldera path between villages, boat trips and the island's wineries.
Best for
- Sunsets
- Boat trips
- Island hopping
- Wine
Good to know
- The caldera path between Fira and Oia is a long but rewarding walk.
- Ferries connect Santorini with other Cyclades islands for onward plans.
- Bring sun protection; there is little shade on the cliff paths.
