Things to do in Santorini

Visit Oia for the world-famous sunset views over the caldera. Explore the archaeological site of Akrotiri, a Minoan Bronze Age settlement. Take a boat tour to the volcanic islands of Nea Kameni and Palea Kameni and swim in the hot springs. Relax on the unique black sand beaches of Perissa and Perivolos.

Food to try

Try the local specialties like fava me koukia, a creamy puree of yellow split peas, and tomato keftedes, fried tomato balls. Sample fresh seafood at one of the many tavernas overlooking the Aegean Sea. Don't miss the local Vinsanto wine, a sweet dessert wine made from sun-dried grapes.

Local tips

Santorini's public buses are a cost-effective way to get around the island, but they can get crowded during peak season. Pre-booking tours and activities online is recommended, especially during summer. Be prepared for lots of walking, especially in areas like Oia and Fira, where cars are restricted.
