Santorini
Whitewashed villages, volcanic cliffs, Aegean sunsets and beautiful days that seem designed to be taken slowly.
Plan My Santorini EscapeSantorini Is More Than the Blue Domes.
The famous white villages are only the beginning. Santorini is shaped by its volcanic history, with dramatic caldera cliffs, dark and red beaches, centuries-old vineyards and tiny villages looking out over the Aegean.
Romantic, Volcanic and Completely Unmistakable.
Caldera Views
White villages cling to volcanic cliffs high above one of the Aegean's most dramatic natural landscapes.
Iconic Sunsets
Oia is world famous for sunset, but beautiful evening views appear all along the caldera.
Volcanic Character
Red cliffs, dark beaches, hot springs and volcanic vineyards make Santorini unlike other Greek islands.
Oia
Oia is Santorini's postcard: whitewashed homes, blue domes, narrow lanes and buildings carved into the caldera cliffs.
Come early for quiet streets, stay for dinner, and experience the famous sunset at least once.
Four Completely Different Sides of the Island.
Lose Track of Time in Oia
Follow the white lanes, find a quiet terrace and let the caldera keep distracting you.
See Red Beach
Santorini's volcanic history creates a shoreline of dramatic red cliffs and dark volcanic sand.
Drink Santorini Wine
Visit a vineyard, taste crisp Assyrtiko and discover how vines grow in volcanic soil.
Sail the Caldera
Spend an afternoon on the Aegean, swim beneath volcanic cliffs and watch Santorini from below.
The Volcano Created the View.
Santorini's famous shape comes from its enormous volcanic caldera. The cliffs surrounding the submerged crater are what create the dramatic views from Oia, Fira and Imerovigli.
A boat trip can take you toward the volcanic islets, hot springs and the quieter island of Thirasia.
Santorini Wine Tastes Like the Island.
Santorini's volcanic soil and strong winds have shaped a wine culture unlike anywhere else.
Assyrtiko is the island's signature grape, known for its bright acidity and mineral character. Vineyards traditionally train the vines into low basket-like shapes to protect the grapes from the Cycladic wind and sun.
Don't Stop at the Sunset.
Akrotiri
See the remarkably preserved Bronze Age settlement beneath volcanic material.
Imerovigli
Caldera views with a quieter atmosphere than Oia.
Assyrtiko
A crisp local wine shaped by Santorini's volcanic terroir.
Find Your Own View
