It Was Formed by a Massive Volcanic Eruption
Santorini’s dramatic landscape was shaped by one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in recorded history, around 1600 BC. The eruption created the vast underwater caldera we see today and wiped out the Minoan civilisation on the island—a mystery that many believe inspired the legend of Atlantis.
The Sunset in Oia Is World-Famous
Every evening, crowds gather at Oia Castle to watch the sky burst into shades of gold, pink, and purple as the sun dips below the Aegean Sea. The view is so magical, it regularly makes lists of the world’s best sunsets—and once you see it, you’ll understand why.
The Wine Is Unique and Delicious
Santorini is one of Greece’s top wine-producing islands, thanks to its volcanic soil and unique climate. Vineyards use a traditional method of growing grapes close to the ground in basket shapes to protect them from the wind. Don’t miss a tasting of Assyrtiko, the island’s crisp, mineral-rich signature white wine.
Weather
Santorini is sun-soaked from May to October, with hot, dry summers and pleasant shoulder seasons. July and August are peak months, perfect for sun lovers, while late spring and early autumn offer warm days, fewer crowds, and dreamy sunsets without the hustle.
Spoken Languages and Currency
The official language is Greek, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. The local currency is the Euro (€), and you’ll find plenty of ATMs and card-friendly venues around the island.
Top Things to See and Do in Santorini
Wander the Streets of Oia
Oia is a vision of whitewashed perfection, perched high above the caldera. Stroll through its narrow alleys lined with boutiques, art galleries, and charming cafes—then grab a front-row seat for that legendary sunset.
Explore the Ancient City of Akrotiri
Often dubbed the “Pompeii of the Aegean,” Akrotiri is an astonishing archaeological site that reveals the ruins of a sophisticated Minoan city, preserved under volcanic ash. Walk through its ancient streets and marvel at the 3,500-year-old buildings.
Relax on the Colourful Beaches
Santorini’s volcanic nature gives it unique beaches—try the black sands of Perissa, the red cliffs of Red Beach, or the golden stretch at Monolithos. Each one offers a different kind of beauty, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or simply chilling by the sea.
Sail Around the Caldera
Take to the sea on a catamaran cruise around the island. Swim in hot springs, snorkel in crystal-clear bays, and take in the island’s incredible cliffs from the water—all while enjoying a BBQ and local wine onboard. Pure bliss.
