Santorini

Why travellers choose Santorini

Santorini is the rim of a collapsed volcano, which is why the villages sit hundreds of metres above the sea and every terrace looks straight into the caldera. Oia gets the famous sunset; Fira has the nightlife and the cable car down to the old port.

Most visitors stay three to five nights — enough for a catamaran cruise past the hot springs, a day on the red and black sand beaches, and a wine tasting among the island's low-trained vines.
