Santorini —
Santorini, the jewel of the Aegean, is renowned for its whitewashed villages perched atop dramatic volcanic cliffs. Shaped by a massive eruption in the 17th century BC, this island offers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, history, and culture.
Must-sees:
- Oia village: Wander through iconic white houses and blue-domed churches, and savour panoramic views of the caldera.
- Fira: Santorini’s vibrant capital blends stunning vistas with cosmopolitan energy, offering excellent dining and nightlife options.
- Akrotiri Archaeological Site: Discover the preserved ruins of an ancient Minoan settlement, frozen in time by volcanic ash.
Culinary culture:
Santorini’s cuisine celebrates fresh, local ingredients. Savour fava bean puree, tomato keftedes, and white aubergine dishes that highlight the island’s unique produce. Pair your meal with Assyrtiko wine, a crisp white varietal cultivated in Santorini’s volcanic soil. For dessert, indulge in a honey-soaked baklava or loukoumades.
A dive deeper:
Escape the crowds by exploring Santorini’s lesser-known gems. Pyrgos, a quaint village with narrow lanes and authentic tavernas, offers a glimpse of traditional island life. The hike from Fira to Oia showcases the caldera’s breathtaking landscapes and is a must for outdoor enthusiasts. Alternatively, visit the black-sand beaches of Perissa and Kamari for a tranquil seaside retreat.
Good to know:
The local currency is the euro (€), and the best months to visit are May through October for warm weather and clear skies. Local buses connect major villages, while rental cars or scooters provide flexibility for exploring further afield. Comfortable footwear is essential for navigating the island’s steep paths and rugged trails.
