Itinerary

1. Firostefani
Firostefani offers the same breathtaking view of the Caldera as the capital but in a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. This is what makes it an excellent option for a stay. It is only a 15-minute walk from the center of Fira, meaning you can plunge into the nightlife from the central city but still get some peace. The coastal path between Firostefani and Fira is an excellent and popular walk, especially in the early morning or evening when it is not too hot. There are many restaurants, bars and shops in the village itself, mainly along the main street, so even if you don't plan to leave the resort, you have everything you need right on the doorstep, it would be a little vain to have Fira so close and not go there at least once.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Imerovigli
Imerovigli is the perfect choice for a secluded, romantic holiday filled with tranquility. It forms an impressive landscape of whitewashed houses, flowers, and cobblestone alleys. You can wander peaceful, paved paths away from the hustle and bustle. It promises priceless, relaxing moments and a view you can't resist. Here, you can relax in traditional taverns, restaurants, and cafes with beautiful terraces. Take unforgettable photos while admiring the famous Caldera of Santorini from a different point of view. Since Imerovigli is a preserved traditional settlement, the architectural style of the buildings remains unchanged, mainly in Cycladic and mainly local Firai style. Today, Imerovigli is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Santorini, with first-class hotels, restaurants, and other shops, which are visited by tens of thousands of people around the world every year.
Duration: 30 mins
3. Oia
Oia in Santorini is the most famous village of the island, known worldwide for its unique sunset when the sun sinks into the blue sea behind the volcano. It is located in the northern part of the caldera at an altitude of about 120 meters. It stretches from the west to the east coast in this narrow island. Charming whitewashed houses, churches with blue domes, and wonderful buildings with harmonious colors create a fascinating landscape. The old village has now effectively united the small towns such as Tolos, Phoenicia, and the small settlement around Paradisos Beach. Towards the caldera, you will find Amudi and Armeni, two small bays ideal for swimming. It is also called pano (upper) or Ano Meria precisely because it is the northernmost village and about 1000 people live there.
Duration: 60 mins
4. Monastery of Profitis Ilias
The monastery of the prophet Elijah is built at about 565 meters above sea level, making it the island's highest point. Thus, it becomes clear that the view from there is unparalleled. Enjoy exclusive views of the island and its surroundings and take amazing photos. Especially at sunset, you will find yourself in a state of delight.
Duration: 20 mins
5. Megalochori - Traditional Village
The village of Pyrgos in Santorini is the highest mountain settlement of the island. It is located on the slopes of Prophet Elijah Mountain and offers 360-degree views of the mainland, volcano, and sea. Many consider him the hidden gem of Santorini, as he managed to distance himself from the radical development of tourism and clusters of travelers. Megalochori is a picturesque, lively village with friendly, lively inhabitants. The central square is the heart of the town, where locals gather in traditional cafes to relax and have fun, creating a warm atmosphere. It is worth spending an evening here to experience this mood and try local dishes in the natural shade of the trees. Traditional taverns, cafes, and shops can also be found in other parts of the village
Duration: 20 mins
6. Red Beach
The red beach in Akrotiri is undoubtedly worth a visit. It is a rare sight, probably unique worldwide, where red is the dominant color. It is surrounded by steep red hills that create a captivating, wild landscape. If you stand on the top, you will see substantial volcanic rocks in the sea, small pebbles and sand of various colors, mainly red, all over the beach, and attractive dark blue waters.
Duration: 20 mins
7. Perissa Black Sand Beach
Since Santorini is not known for its beautiful beaches, Perissa Beach is a pleasant surprise. Perissa is a magnificent beach, covered with black volcanic sand, and it is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. It is located on the southeastern coast of Santorini and extends at the base of the massive cape Mesa Vuno, sharply projecting into the sea. At the top of the mountain is the ancient city of Thira. Perissa is one of the island's most cosmopolitan beaches, stretching for miles. It merges with Perivolos Beach; together, it is a beach with a length of more than 7 kilometers. The water is obvious; there is a gentle descent and a beautiful color. The coarse black sand is pleasant to walk on and sparkles like sparkles, but it can be hot in the summer.
Duration: 60 mins
8. Akrotiri Archaeological Site
Akrotiri village is home to two historical treasures that are the village's main attractions. One of them is the archaeological site of Akrotiri, a very important prehistoric city of the Aegean Sea that is completely worth a visit. You can walk through it and see frescoes, artifacts, furniture, modern drainage systems, and even multi-story buildings from the Bronze Age.
